828 U Sport A.I. Adjustable Comb
With the 828 U Sport A.I. Silver in the adjustable comb version, Benelli offers a configuration designed for shooters seeking a more customizable setup for correct shooting fit and mount. The Perfect Fitting system ensures an immediate mount and instinctive sight alignment, while the adjustable wooden comb (up to +14 mm) allows the over-and-under shotgun to be precisely tailored, improving visual alignment and promoting faster, more natural, and more effective target acquisition. Further enhancing shooting stability and control are the oversized grip and extended fore-end, together with the action and stock featuring enlarged geometry, which increase control and improve grip quality throughout every phase of the shot. The stock also incorporates a dedicated housing for commercially available balancing weights, allowing the firearm’s balance to be customized. The removable trigger group completes an advanced technical platform engineered for maximum functionality. The patented Advanced Impact barrels, paired with dedicated A.I. Sport chokes, deliver advanced ballistic performance and even greater shot effectiveness. From an aesthetic standpoint, the nickel-plated steel action, finished with fine hand brushing, immediately conveys Benelli’s level of refinement and customization. The engraving, developed across three sides, follows the lines of the over-and-under shotgun with continuity, enhancing its proportions and surfaces. The decorative motif draws inspiration from the Renaissance elements of the Ducal Palace of Urbino, reinterpreted in a contemporary key and alternated with the Benelli logo pictogram, creating an original balance between Italian artistic tradition and brand identity. The design also includes a symbolic reference to the clay target, an icon of clay shooting and a concrete expression of the drive for performance.

Perfect Fit
Perfect Fit overcomes the traditional barriers of drop and deviation providing easily customised solutions. Fast shouldering and instinctive aiming are ensured by the countless options to fine-tune drop and deviation (40 combinations: 20 rh-20 lh) to your specific needs. Optimum performance and tailored comfort are within your reach.
Lock Plate
The patented locking system consists of a plate that perfectly seals the single-piece unit. The firing pressure remains contained in the plate/single-piece assembly, reducing the stress applied to the rotating pins. The 828 U's steel locking system is durable and guarantees the elimination of any mechanical stress on the receiver.
Benelli Advanced Impact
Benelli Advanced Impact (Benelli A.I.) is not a simple brand-new barrel, it is a real patented system consisting of two inseparable elements that work together: barrel and choke. At the end of a long research and development work, what can be defined as the best internal profile to date has been identified to redesign the barrel-choke assembly and achieve performances never experienced before.
Crio System
In cryogenic technology, the first element you need to consider is the barrel. The expansion caused by friction heat and pressure is limited, so that the barrel can vibrate and expand evenly on firing. The pattern provided by a cryogenic barrel is wider, more regular and more uniform, with pattern centres that will not shift as you fire shot after shot, to the benefit of shooting accuracy. Cryogenic treatment also has positive effects on the life of the barrel, which is more resistant to wear and less susceptible to attack by combustion residues. Benelli was the first company to apply Cryogenic Treatment to the barrel and choke of a light firearm on an industrial scale in order to enhance its ballistic performance.
