Featuring a shortened barrel, reduced-length magazine tube and a lightweight carbon-fiber stepped rib, the new Benelli Montefeltro Ultra Light weighs just 6.3 pounds for the 12-gauge model and 5.3 pounds for the 20-gauge model.

The reduced weight and shorter length translates to effortless shouldering and faster swings on quick-moving birds. If you need higher round capacity beyond the standard 4+1, the Montefeltro Ultra Light’s open magazine tube can easily be modified with an optional extension.

This is complemented by a Crio-treated gloss blued barrel. The company’s WeatherCoat finish on the stock and receiver ensures the Montefeltro Ultra Light will hold up to any adventure in the field for years to come.

The Montefeltro Ultra Light has an MSRP of $1,949. Learn more about it in the video embedded above or by visiting benelliusa.com.
