Benelli USABenelli 828U Field 20 Gauge 28" Barrel 3" Chamber Over and Under Shotgun in Nickel and Black Finish
Dominate upland bird hunts, clay courses, and versatile field pursuits with the Benelli 828U Field 20 Gauge Over/Under Shotgun, a lightweight masterpiece engineered for discerning hunters and shooters who crave the seamless balance, ergonomic perfection, and unrelenting reliability of a true Benelli without the weight penalty of traditional over/under designs. This premium 20 gauge shotgun features a 28-inch cryogenically treated Crio barrel with a gloss blued finish, delivering uniform shot patterns and reduced fouling for precise hits on flushing quail, rising pheasants, or crossing clays—chambered for 2-3/4" and 3" shells to effortlessly handle light upland loads to potent field magnums with minimal recoil that keeps you steady for rapid doubles. At a featherlight 6 lbs, it swings effortlessly through thick cover or skeet stations, while the striking engraved nickel-plated receiver paired with an anodized black accent and AA-grade satin walnut stock creates a sophisticated nickel-and-black finish that blends classic elegance with modern durability, resisting corrosion in wet marshes or dusty ranges. As Benelli's groundbreaking O/U platform, the 828U redefines over/under shotguns with a patented steel locking system that shields the aluminum receiver from shot pressure, ensuring decades of flawless performance, and earning rave reviews from upland enthusiasts for its innovative auto-recocking opening lever that delivers smoother, faster actions than conventional designs. Whether pursuing woodcock in the Northwoods, breaking sporting clays, or ambushing doves at dawn, this 20 gauge Benelli 828U Field shotgun excels as a nimble, low-profile powerhouse for hunters seeking a 20 gauge over/under that outperforms heavier 12 gauges in agility while maintaining pinpoint accuracy and timeless style.
Crafted in Italy's Urbino factory with a decade of pro-hunter and clay shooter input, the Benelli 828U Field 20 Gauge Shotgun breaks from O/U conventions through its removable trigger group for effortless cleaning and enhanced safety, eliminating complex linkages that plague traditional models and boosting reliability in muddy fields or high-volume shoots. Field testers praise its Progressive Comfort System, embedded in the walnut stock with flexible polymer buffers that compress proportionally to shot load—absorbing up to 70% more recoil on heavier 3-inch shells—for shoulder-friendly comfort during extended hunts or 200-round clay sessions. The impulse-activated ejectors, fully contained in the barrel, hurl spent hulls clear without mechanical drag, while the unique opening lever auto-recocking mechanism resets triggers instantly upon unlocking, streamlining the reload for unbroken rhythm on fast-flushing birds or trap doubles. With a red fiber-optic front sight for instinctive low-light targeting, user-adjustable shim kit for custom drop and cast, and five flush Crio chokes (C, IC, M, IM, F) for versatile patterning from tight turkey loads to open skeet spreads, this nickel-and-black 828U Field is a precision tool tailored for upland wing-shooting, sporting clays, skeet, trap, and five-stand, consistently topping reviews for its sub-6.5-lb balance that feels like an extension of your arm, rivaling custom Berettas or Brownings in pointability while adding Benelli's legendary durability and ease of maintenance.
