Benelli 828U Line Expands with Left-Handed & Compact Versions

The acclaimed Benelli 828U line of over-and-under shotguns has been expanded to include left-handed and compact models. The new 828U Left-Hand features a reverse-contoured lever which allows left-handed shooters to quickly and easily open the action with their strong hand. In addition to a reversed lever, the left-handed version of the Benelli 828U comes from the factory with the cast of the shotgun already adjusted for left-handed shooters. The gun also comes with a shim kit which allows for 40 different points of fine adjustment to the drop and cast.

 Benelli 828U Line Expands with Left-Handed & Compact Versions
Available with an engraved nickel plated receiver and a 26- or 28-inch barrel, both versions of the new Benelli 828U Left-Hand have an MSRP of $2,999.
 
For younger shooters or shooters with shorter arms, the new Benelli 828U Compact comes with a 26-inch barrel and 14-inch length of pull, shortened from the 828U’s original 14 3/8 inches. The 828U Compact, which weighs 6.5 pounds, features an engraved nickel plated receiver and has an MSRP of $2,999.
 
Benelli’s 828U shotguns deliver mandatory point-ability, custom comb/drop adjustments and the kind of ergonomic feel and balance inherent to all fine shotguns. It is at once both contemporary and beautifully practical, from the smooth body and exquisite checkering to the wide, low-profile rib bridge, no side rib and monoblock treatment.
 
Functionality and safety of the 828U is a given with an auto-safety, easy-operating opening lever and steel lock-plate opening system, paired with impulse-driven ejection to keep unfired shells handy. All 828U shotguns are equipped with floating Crio barrels and Crio chokes, a weight-reducing carbon fiber rib and a high-grade alloy receiver complimented by fine AA-Grade satin walnut on the stock and forearm. Durable steel-on-steel hinges, removable guard and easy-to-remove trigger system make for easy cleanup.
 
The patented, recoil-taming Progressive Comfort System, already popular with many Benelli shooters, is nicely integrated into the 828U to keep muzzle flip to a minimum and provide a more comfortable shooting experience.
