This Silver Featherweight variant highlights Benelli's engraving work: scroll detailing with gold inlays, gold-inlaid birds on the left side, a dog on the right, and the "DUCA DI MONTEFELTRO" legend on the receiver. The receiver is nickel-plated alloy, keeping weight down while presenting a bright, durable finish. Markings include BENELLI – ITALY, BENELLI U.S.A. CORP – ACCOKEEK MD – MADE IN ITALY, BENELLI ARMI S.P.A. – URBINO – MADE IN ITALY, and IT23.
The inertia-driven semi-automatic action is identified by a bolt marked "Benelli Inertia System" and features right-side ejection. A 26-inch gloss-blued barrel is topped with a carbon-fiber ventilated rib and a red fiber-optic front bead for quick target acquisition. Controls include a cross-bolt safety and a gold-colored trigger.
Stock and forend are satin walnut with Benelli's WeatherCoat finish, offering a refined look with added environmental protection. The checkered pistol grip provides consistent purchase, and a recoil pad helps manage shot-to-shot comfort. Length of pull measures 14.5 inches, and a fluted bright alloy magazine cap completes the forward end.
