Benelli 828U Over/Under Shotgun for Upland Hunting
The Benelli 828U Over/Under Shotgun is a premium firearm engineered for hunters and sport shooters who demand exceptional balance, reliability, and innovative design. Built with Benelli's legendary craftsmanship, the 828U combines the strength of steel with the lightweight advantages of an aluminum receiver, delivering outstanding handling in the field.
Available in both 12-gauge and 20-gauge configurations, the Benelli 828U is designed to redefine the traditional over/under shotgun. From the moment you shoulder it until your shot connects, every component is engineered to provide smoother operation, reduced recoil, and long-lasting durability.
Key Features of the Benelli 828U

Available in 12-gauge and 20-gauge models
Patented Steel Locking System for superior durability
Progressive Comfort System reduces felt recoil
Innovative recocking system for smoother operation

Patented Steel Locking System
Unlike traditional over/under shotguns, the Benelli 828U features a patented Steel Locking System that locks directly into the monoblock instead of placing stress on the receiver and hinge pins.
This innovative design:
Prevents receiver wear
Increases long-term durability
Contains shotshell pressure within the steel breech block
Creates a stronger and safer shotgun
Allows the lightweight aluminum receiver to remain exceptionally durable
The result is an over/under shotgun that weighs less than 6.5 pounds while maintaining the strength hunters expect from Benelli.
Innovative Recocking System
The Benelli 828U utilizes an exclusive recocking system that resets the trigger when the top lever is unlocked rather than when the barrels are opened.
Benefits include:
Smoother opening action
Consistent operation
Reduced mechanical complexity
Improved reliability
Combined with the barrel-contained ejector system, this design eliminates traditional linkages between the trigger group and forend, resulting in a cleaner, stronger receiver.
Progressive Comfort System
Recoil management is one of the standout features of the Benelli 828U.
The integrated Progressive Comfort System is housed within the walnut stock and uses lightweight polymer buffers that progressively compress based on recoil force.
Advantages include:
Reduced felt recoil
Increased shooting comfort
Better control during follow-up shots
Improved performance with heavier hunting loads
The heavier the shotshell load, the more recoil-absorbing buffers engage to cushion the shooter.
Impulse Activated Ejectors
The Benelli 828U features Impulse Activated Ejectors located entirely within the barrel assembly.
Unlike conventional over/under designs, the ejectors activate only after a shell has been fired, providing:
Reliable shell ejection
Fewer moving parts
Stronger receiver construction
Simplified mechanical design
This innovative engineering contributes to improved durability and dependable field performance.
Removable Trigger Group
Cleaning and maintenance are quick and straightforward thanks to the compact removable trigger group.
Benefits include:
Easy cleaning
Simplified maintenance
Increased reliability
Reduced internal linkage complexity
The removable trigger assembly is designed for long-term performance in demanding hunting environments.
