Benelli Semi-Automatic Shotguns

Benelli has always made top-notch shotguns, but it’s their semi-automatic lines that have made them famous. Mostly based on the unique inertia system, Benelli’s designs are reliable, comfortable, and generally quite a bit lighter than competing gas operated guns. With a wide variety of models available, there’s a Benelli shotgun for every purpose, from duck hunting to clay shooting to tactical use.

Benelli Super Black Eagle II

The SBEII is Benelli’s original 3 1/2 inch shotgun, and arguably the one that made their Inertia Driven action popular. Lightweight, well made, and capable of cycling all manner of shells, the SBEII is a surprisingly well-priced choice for anyone looking for a good semi-automatic shotgun. These guns are available in left hand as well, and all models feature Benelli’s Comfortech recoil reduction system.

Benelli Ethos

The Ethos is built as a classy, multipurpose gun capable of cycling even the lightest 7/8ths skeet loads. Based on the famous Benelli inertia action, and using the Progressive Comfort recoil reduction system, the Ethos is as nice to shoot as it is to look at.

Benelli Vinci

The Vinci series of shotguns use Benelli’s In-Line Inertia system, a development of the Inertia Driven system used in the majority of Benelli’s other semi-automatic designs. It allows for more adjustment in the fit of the gun, as well as allowing an even faster cycling time than the already-fast Inertia Driven models.
