Raffaello A.I. BE.S.T. Limited Edition
The Raffaello A.I. BE.S.T. Limited Edition 12 gauge is an exclusive masterpiece, a jewel of engineering and art, produced in just 1500 numbered specimens. a jewel of engineering and art, this shotgun enhances ballistic performance thanks to its exclusive integrated barrel and choke system, ensuring superior ballistic performance. Its elegance is expressed, above all, through its engraving, a sublime tribute to the art of hunting. The delicate hunting scenes, meticulously recreated by the C. Giovannelli workshop, adorn the receiver, which features laser-engraved Renaissance floral patterns with gold details. On the right side, a hilly landscape is brought to life by three pheasants in flight, two of which are finely gilded with electrolytic gold. On the left side, a marshland scene immortalizes ducks in flight, again, enriched with elegant gilding. The joint between the receiver and the stock is enhanced by an ornamental woven band, decorated with electrolytic gold-plated leaves, creating a perfect synergy between the two elements to give the shotgun an extraordinary elegance. The Raffaello A.I. BE.S.T. Limited Edition is not just a shotgun, but a true icon of luxury and tradition.

Inertia Driven System
Rigorous design, simple construction, easy maintenance and mechanical accuracy guarantee maximum durability and extreme reliability. The cleverness of the Benelli System lies in its rigorous design, simple construction and ease of maintenance. The fast, minimised operating movements combined with mechanical accuracy and essential construction ensure an unaltered working cycle that is perfect every time, maximum strength and utmost reliability.
Progressive comfort
The innovative progressive recoil absorption system kicks in gradually according to cartridge and ammunition loading. This is the true essence of comfort, an invisible, yet highly sensitive system.
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.
BE.S.T.
BE.S.T. is an exclusive Benelli technology to guarantee maximum resistance to corrosion, abrasion, wear and the elements. BE.S.T. surface treatment uses cutting-edge hybrid technology, covered by trade secret. The coating has characteristics similar to those of a diamond when it comes to hardness, resistance and precious finish. BE.S.T. is completely eco-friendly, since the process used involves no dangerous emissions for the environment.
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.
