Benelli's much-heralded Ethos is comprised of some of the company's most successful innovations, both old and new. And that's a big part of what's made it so very popular with consumers. Enough so that Benelli has, since the original ETHOS launch, rolled out 20- and 28-gauge additions to the line. Our friends at American Rifleman recently took a closer look at the ETHOS in an episode of American Rifleman TV. You can check out the entire clip with the video embedded above.
