Benelli Legacy 12 Gauge Semi-Auto, 28-Inch Vent-Rib, Inertia Driven, Factory-Engraved Coin-Tone Receiver, 3-Inch Chamber
This Italian-made Benelli Legacy stands out with its factory-engraved, coin-finish alloy receiver featuring game scenes and scrollwork, paired with a blued 28-inch vent-rib barrel. It uses Benelli's Inertia Driven operating system and accepts 2 3/4- or 3-inch shells. A red fiber-optic front bead, gold-tone trigger, and gloss walnut stock round out a refined, lightweight package. It currently wears an extended, knurled choke, and a full five-piece Benelli Armi CrioChoke flush-fit set is included.
Controls include a cartridge drop lever and a round bolt-release button, and key markings on components read "BENELLI ARMI SYSTEM" and "BENELLI ARMI – CRIOCHOKE." Capacity is 2+1 as supplied. Length of pull is 14.0 inches, and the cross-bolt safety is positioned at the trigger guard.
The coin-tone receiver contrasts cleanly with the blued barrel, while the checkered gloss walnut stock and recoil pad provide a classic fit and finish. The front bead is a red fiber-optic for quick acquisition on the vent rib. Two of the included choke tubes are marked "STEEL SHOT OK."
Chambered for 3-inch shells, with barrel markings confirming acceptance of both 2 3/4- and 3-inch loads, this Legacy offers versatility for the field or clays. It ships with the Benelli factory hard case, owner's manual, and Benelli gun oil.
