La National Rifle Association (NRA), the organization that promotes the rights of US firearms holders, has awarded the group a prestigious award Benelli. over / under 828 U of the Urbino spa was in fact elected "Rifle of the year" in America as regards the year 2016. What are the reasons that have convinced the association the most? The weapon is characterized by a unique elegance, well expressed by the streamlined lines of the receiver, with original engravings that extend continuously into the stock.
As described by the Benelli Armsmoreover, the 828 U shotgun has a perfect harmony in terms of shapes and materials. The design is innovative, in the name of functionality and ergonomics. Among other things, this rifle contains some of the most important international patents, namely the closing plate, the progressive comfort and the monobloc. The "Progressive Comfort" system just mentioned is embellished with the butt pad and the nose pad that have been made of special polyurethane, in order to minimize recoil and detection.
The locking system is made of tempered steel and has convinced the NRA thanks to its simplicity and reliability: all mechanical stresses exerted on the action are eliminated, while the Monobloc is essential for assembling barrels in an innovative way, without forgetting high technology. There are also other merits mentioned by Benelli. As pointed out by the Marche-based company, the closing plate and the monobloc have been specially incorporated into an aluminum action frame, so as to lighten the over-and-under (you don't even get to three kilograms), without however compromising strength and balance.
A further advantage is that of the deviation, since it was thought to introduce customized solutions: immediate bracing and aiming are guaranteed by 40 combinations, according to the various needs that may arise. The ballistic performance is defined as excellent, a result obtained through the barrels submitted. The most apt definition that has been highlighted by Benelli is that of “a weapon that is always on target”.
The relationship between Benelli Armi and the United States of America is very solid, especially if you look at the appreciation shown by Washington towards the rifles of the Italian company. Eg, the stars and stripes army has been using the M1999 rifle since 4, a weapon that was also assigned to the Marine Corps. The awarding of the “Shotgun of the year 2016”, an award that has always been highly coveted, only increases its value: the 828 U had convinced the NRA from the beginning, so much so that it also became the “shotgun of the week”.
