828 U SuperSport A.I.
The 828 U SuperSport A.I. is a 12-gauge over-and-under shotgun designed to deliver maximum versatility, making it ideal for both sport shooting and hunting. It stands out for its exclusive, contemporary design, enhanced by the elegant carbon-fiber camo texture on the stock and fore-end, which reinforces its technical and distinctive character. The nickel-plated steel action immediately conveys Benelli’s signature attention to aesthetics: the glossy surfaces, finely hand-brushed, alternate with matte planes in a refined interplay of contrasts that enhances the shotgun’s volumes, proportions, and sleek lines. In terms of performance, the patented Benelli Advanced Impact system delivers full, effective patterns even at longer ranges, elevating ballistic performance in both sporting and hunting applications. The barrels, featuring ported vents, together with their special internal profile and the Knurled A.I. choke, are engineered to maximize pattern consistency, energy, and control, while also helping to reduce muzzle climb. The ComforTech 3 system, combined with the CombTech comb, effectively reduces recoil and promotes a fast, precise return to target on the second shot, allowing the shooter to take on even the most demanding shots with continuity, control, and top-level performance.

Comfortech 3
ComforTech 3 is the extreme evolution of the ComforTech system. The most efficient full comfort system in the world. With its improved geometry, ComforTech 3 significantly reduces the perception of recoil and helps re-target faster. Control is optimised in each phase to ensure total comfort for the user. A solution critical to shooting accuracy.
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.
Air Touch
AirTouch is a checkering available as standard on all ComforTech grips and fore-ends of inertia shotguns and Argo E Benelli rifles. The aerodynamics of the small spheres ensure superior grip and allow for quick shouldering for a firm, effective and comfortable grip. The AirTouch checkering of the grip ensures that your hand can breathe naturally for a superior grip.
