The ETHOS series pairs Benelli's inertia-driven, rotating-bolt semi-automatic action with clean lines and premium materials. This example features a nickel-tone alloy receiver with fine factory scroll-style engraving panels that contrast well with the gloss blued barrel.
The 28 in barrel carries a ventilated rib with a carbon-fiber pattern and is threaded for choke tubes. An internal screw-in choke is installed, though the specific constriction is not identified. Sighting is fast and intuitive with a red fiber-optic front bead and a white mid-bead on the rib.
Controls are designed for confident handling, including an extended, serrated charging handle and a bolt-release button on the right side. The gold-tone single trigger adds a refined touch while maintaining a straightforward control layout.
Stock and forend are walnut with checkering for grip, complemented by a polymer comb insert and a Benelli-branded recoil pad. The shotgun has a 3-round capacity and a 3 in chamber, and it is compatible with both 2 3/4 in and 3 in shells.
