The 828U Black receiver variant uses a matte black anodized aluminum alloy receiver with sculpted accent lines for a modern, lightweight build. This example is chambered for 2 3/4 inch or 3 inch shells and holds two rounds, delivering the flexibility expected from a premium over/under field gun.
The 26 inch barrels wear a ventilated, carbon-fiber-pattern rib topped with a red fiber-optic bead for quick sighting. It accepts Benelli flush screw-in chokes; this shotgun is set up with a Modified choke in the top barrel and an Improved Cylinder choke in the bottom barrel. One included flush choke is marked "NO STEEL SHOT IN...".
Controls are straightforward and shooter-focused: a single selective trigger pairs with a tang safety that incorporates a barrel selector and a red safety indicator. Ejectors are timed, and barrel fit is tight.
The walnut stock is checkered with a pistol grip, a black recoil pad, and ergonomics tailored to right-handed shooters, including right-hand cast-off and a slight palm swell. Length of pull is 14.5 inches, providing a comfortable, consistent mount.
Italian proof house marks, CIP S superior proof, and the CU (2019) date code confirm proofing and manufacture period in Italy. The overall black finish ties the receiver and barrels together for a cohesive, practical presentation.
