benelli-raffaello-be-diamond.png

Raffaello Be Diamond BE.S.T. is the first shotgun to ever use the BE.S.T. treatment, the exclusive Full Protection treatment that lends makes barrel and breech an exquisite look and makes them much more resistant to corrosion. A precious, unique, inimitable semi-automatic, a genuine concentrate of technology. Comfortech 3 reduces perceived recoil and the new, latest-generation CombTech comb eases the impact on the face. Thanks to the Easy Locking system, the weapon is always ready to fire. The Window System guarantees maximum safety as the cartridges in the magazine are visible at all times. The Power Bore cryogenic barrel and cryogenic chokes ensure excellent ballistic performance. Raffaello Be Diamond is the ‘diamond’ of the Benelli range.

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.

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.

Window System

The utmost safety and functionality: fast, easy visibility of the cartridges in the magazine. The Window System has been added to the peculiar technological features of the Benelli semi-automatic. This patented system allows you to see all cartridges present in the magazine through a slot in the lower section of the fore-end. The advantages in terms of safety and functionality are considerable. A bright red signal indicates that the firearm is loaded.
