Benelli Performance Shop Ethos Supersport A.I. 12 Gauge 30" Barrel 3" Chamber Shotgun in Nickel and Black Finish

Unleash your competitive dominance and field versatility with the Benelli Performance Shop Ethos Supersport A.I. 12 Gauge Semi-Automatic Shotgun, a precision-crafted masterpiece from Benelli's elite Performance Shop, engineered for clay crushers, sporting clays champions, and dynamic waterfowl or upland hunters who demand unparalleled cycling, devastating patterning, and balanced handling in high-stakes scenarios. This premium 12 gauge shotgun boasts a commanding 30-inch cryogenically treated Advanced Impact (A.I.) Crio barrel, delivering up to 50% greater target penetration with denser, tighter shot strings for crushing clays at extreme ranges or dropping geese with authoritative knockdown power—chambered for 2-3/4" and 3" shells to seamlessly handle light target loads to heavy waterfowl magnums with recoil so well-managed you’ll stay locked on for lightning-fast follow-ups. Weighing a balanced 7 lbs, it swings fluidly through skeet stations, sporting clays courses, or thick pheasant cover, while the sleek nickel-plated receiver, gloss black barrel, and carbon fiber stock create a striking black-and-nickel finish that resists corrosion and draws eyes at the range. Enhanced with vibrant red anodized Briley accents on the bolt handle, bolt release, and a 6oz weighted forend cap to tame muzzle flip, this Ethos Supersport A.I. is a standout in Benelli’s lineup, earning accolades from NSCA shooters and field testers for its silky-smooth Inertia-Driven System that cycles over 500,000 rounds flawlessly, outpacing gas-operated rivals in speed, cleanliness, and reliability. Whether shattering trap doubles, pulverizing long birds on sporting layouts, or flushing mallards in flooded timber, this 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun redefines performance with cutting-edge A.I. barrel technology and extended Crio chokes, making it the ultimate competition and field firearm for shooters who settle for nothing less than perfection.

Forged in Benelli’s Performance Shop with input from top-tier competitors and hunters, the Ethos Supersport A.I. transforms the iconic Ethos platform into a tournament-ready titan, leveraging revolutionary A.I. bore contours that optimize pellet deformation and velocity for unmatched pattern density and deeper penetration, consistently outperforming standard barrels in tests on 50-yard clays or high-flying waterfowl. Competitors and upland enthusiasts praise its Comfort Tech 3 stock, with optimized shock-absorbing chevrons that turn the entire butt into a recoil pad, slashing felt kick by up to 60% and paired with the Combtech cheek pad to eliminate facial vibrations for fatigue-free marathons through 500+ round shoot-offs or all-day dove hunts. The Inertia-Driven System—Benelli’s hallmark of reliability—requires no adjustments and expels carbon out the barrel, ensuring jam-free performance from soft skeet loads to 3-inch steel shot in rain-soaked blinds or dusty ranges. Oversized Briley controls, including the EZ bolt release and enlarged handle, enable rapid manipulations even with gloved hands in high-pressure 3-gun matches or freezing duck marshes, while the Easy Locking Bolt System adapts effortlessly to any 12 gauge load, from 7/8 oz target to heavy turkey payloads, without a hitch. With a red-bar front sight and metal bead mid-barrel for instinctive aiming, user-adjustable shims for custom drop and cast, and a 4+1 capacity for sustained fire, this nickel-and-black Ethos Supersport A.I. blends modern aesthetics with an ergonomic grip that feels tailor-made, consistently earning top marks in reviews for its 7-lb balance that rivals high-end over/unders in pointability while delivering semi-auto speed for trap, skeet, sporting clays, waterfowl, and upland pursuits.
