Benelli Montefeltro Beccaccia Supreme Magnum The Beccaccia Supreme is the perfect semiautomatic shotgun for hunting woodcock. Its new spreader gives a broader but more densely packed shot pattern at 10-20 metres (32% better than those of our competitors). The Beccaccia Supreme is agile enough to bring to shoulder in an instant, and its combination of perfect balance and light weight ensure the ultimate accuracy of aim. Anatomic polyurethane recoil pads ensure a snug fit against the hunter’s shoulder. The pistol grip and engravings on the receiver give the Beccaccia Supreme a clear personality of its own. Its walnut stock and fore-end feature Benelli’s unique Elegance System finish for resistance to scratches and to even the worst weather conditions. Gauge: Ga 12-3″ Stock and fore-end: Wallnut with Elegance System finishing Recoil pad: Interchangeable Air Cell polyurethane Chamber: 76 magnum Mechanics: Inertial semi-automatic Benelli Receiver: Polished black anodised ergal Stock length trigger measured / deviation: 350 mm / 360 mm with two interchangeable right or left handed recoil pads Drop at comb: 36 mm Drop at heel: 55 mm Weight: 2,750 g. approx. with 26″ barrel Magazine: Without plug 2 rounds of 12/76, 2 rounds of 12/70; 2 round with plug Safety: Enlarged, transverse, with red ready to shoot signal Trigger guard: Technopolymer with variable geometry trigger release unit Trigger: Removable; trigger weight from 20 to 28 N; reversible, transverse safety; automatic anti-repeat device, automatic locking device to prevent firing unless the bolt is fully retracted; magazine cutoff Sight: High-vis red fibre optic Ampliator System: Benelli’s new Ampliator is an exclusive spreader that gives broader but more densely packed shot patterns. It’s unbeatable over distances of 10 and 20 metres, giving useful shot patterns 32% larger than those our competitors. An exclusive surface finish applied to walnut stocks and fore-ends, Elegance System guarantees superb resistance to scratches, humidity and to the harshest climatic conditions. On top of its functional benefits, Elegance System, which takes the form of a polymer film, also enhances the natural shine of the wood. Elegance System: Elegance System is a special treatment that enhances wood’s natural grain and shine. It also guarantees superb resistance to scratches and to the harshest climatics conditions. Essential design, simple construction, easy maintenance and mechanical precision for maximum strength and reliability. The cleverness of the Benelli System lies in the rigor of its design, constructional simplicity and ease of maintenance. There are three main components: the bolt, that acts as an inertial mass and slides freely along guides made in the sides of the receiver, the locking head and the large free spring, mounted on the bolt.Its operations is ingenious and efficient. While the bolt assembly moves into the firing position, the locking head pin movesalong a shaped guide inside the bolt to engage the locking head.When the trigger is pulled, all the components of the shotgun,with the exception of the bolt, move backwards. At the same time,the inertial spring is compressed between the head of the bolt and the body of the bolt itself. The cartridge drop lever rises to allowthe cartridge to move from the magazine to the firing chamber.Towards the end of the recoil cycle, the pressure inside the chamberreaches a safe level and the backward movement of the shotgun slows down. Then, the heavy inertial spring pushes the bolt assembly backwards, releasing the revolving head of the bolt and extracting the cartridge fired from the chamber, pushing it against the ejector. When the empty cartridge leaves the receiver, the energy developed by the moving bolt assembly rearms the hammer and compresses the recoil spring inside the stock. Following this, the recoil spring pushes the bolt assembly forwards, in this way raising the shell forwards into the correct position and putting a new cartridge into the chamber. The brevity and ease of these movements together with mechanical precision and constructional simplicity guarantee an operating cycle which will not alter or jam, offering maximum resistance and extreme reliability.
