20ga Benelli Raffaello A.I. BE.S.T Limited Edition (500 Anniversary) 28" | Interchoke

A true gem by Benelli, Raffaello A.I. BE.S.T. Limited Edition 20 gauge offers absolute excellence in only 500 examples available.This limited edition jewel is equipped with the exclusive Benelli Advanced Impact technology, which maximises the ballistic performance of the barrel and choke, guaranteeing extraordinary performance. The distinctive element is the engraving, an authentic tribute to the art of hunting.

On the right side of the receiver, we find a setter running towards a woodcock. The same setter, at the corner of the engraving, is a silent spectator of the scene. The left side reproduces the same figurative composition, but this time the vegetation, more open and linear, is the backdrop to a pointer, proud and tense towards fleeing quails.

To complete the engraving we find a floral ornament that develops around the receiver, embellished with some gold-coloured leaves and a rim with a Renaissance-themed decorative weave to close the composition. This semi-automatic shotgun is not only a distinctive firearm, but an additional icon representative of the Benelli style.

Benelli Technologies:

Inertia-Driven System
Inertia Driven System® is the original version of the best operating system ever devised. There are Inertia Driven® Benelli shotguns that have fired 500,000+ rounds and still function perfectly.
Progressive Comfort
The Progressive Comfort recoil-reduction system is an unobtrusive, lightweight and simple system. It's able to self-adjust for maximum recoil reduction related to the power of the load used because it has three sets of interlocking leaves, or fingers, with different levels of elasticity. This system is out of sight inside a wooden stock to better maintain a traditional look.
Benelli Advanced Impact (A.I.)
Benelli Advanced Impact (Benelli A.I.) is not a simple brand-new barrel, it is a real patented system consisting of two inseparable elements that work together: barrel and choke. At the end of a long research and development work, what can be defined as the best internal profile to date has been identified to redesign the barrel-choke assembly and achieve performances never experienced before.
BE.S.T. Finish
BE.S.T. is an exclusive Benelli technology to guarantee maximum resistance to corrosion, abrasion, wear and the elements. BE.S.T. surface treatment uses cutting-edge hybrid technology, covered by trade secret. The coating has characteristics similar to those of a diamond when it comes to hardness, resistance and precious finish. BE.S.T. is completely eco-friendly, since the process used involves no dangerous emissions for the environment.
Crio System Choke Tubes & Barrels
With Crio® System barrels, you get denser patterns with 13.2% more pellets on target. Cryogenically treating a barrel relieves stresses caused by hammer forging, creating a smoother and more uniform surface. Benelli Crio® barrels pattern better and they stay cleaner longer. This Benelli M2 includes 5 Crio Flush chokes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified & Full)
