Built around Benelli's inertia-operated action, this Duca di Montefeltro is configured as a 12 gauge semi-auto with a 3" (76 mm) chamber and is marked for use with 2 3/4" or 3" shells. Capacity is listed as 4+1.
The 26-inch barrel uses a ventilated rib sighting plane with a front bead, and it is fitted with a high-visibility red front bead/bar on the rib. This setup keeps the sight picture simple and fast while maintaining the clean profile associated with vent-rib sporting shotguns.
This example is factory engraved, with extensive scrollwork and game-scene engraving accented by gold-colored animal/game inlays. The engraved scenes include birds on one side and a dog on the other, giving the receiver a distinctive, presentation-style look while remaining a functional field configuration.
Walnut is used throughout the stock and fore-end, with checkering for grip and a pistol-grip stock shape. It is finished with a Benelli-branded recoil pad, and the shotgun also features a gold-colored trigger that complements the receiver's decorative treatment.
