The Benelli Montefeltro Silver enters 2026 with a measured evolution that respects the line’s field heritage while tightening the technical brief. Benelli is rolling out two right-hand SKUs—#10931 and #10935—built on the brand’s Inertia-Driven semi-automatic action for clean cycling and low maintenance in mixed weather and varied load weights. Both guns are chambered for 2¾ and 3‑inch shotshells with a 4+1 capacity, a spec that keeps them relevant from early-season upland covers to clay practice without overcomplicating the formula.
The centerpiece is a newly engraved nickel‑plated alloy receiver with gold accents. The 12‑gauge wears a 28‑inch barrel and an upland scene that sets gold pheasants in motion. The 20‑gauge sports a 26‑inch barrel and a pastoral motif with gold quail. Floral scroll frames the birds for a traditional field aesthetic, yet the receiver itself is the slimmer, modernized profile introduced in the 2023 refresh, which trims visual bulk and pairs neatly with a thinner fore-end for quicker starts and smoother transitions between targets.
Stocking is AA‑grade satin walnut with clean checkering that favors grip without bite. A gold‑finished trigger, gloss nickel bolt and bolt handle, and a deep gloss blued barrel carry the visual language through the controls and working parts. Up top, a low‑profile vent rib and a red‑bar front sight aim for fast alignment against different backdrops. Average weight is 7.1 pounds with an overall length of 49½ inches, a balance that keeps the gun lively at the muzzle yet planted enough for proper follow‑through.
Function updates live where you feel them. Benelli’s Easy‑Locking Inertia Bolt reduces the chance of an out‑of‑battery start when easing the action closed in the field, and the Easy‑Loading system streamlines top‑off and unload strokes at the loading port. Pattern tuning is handled by extended Crio choke tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F), supplied with a wrench for easy swaps at the tailgate. A shim kit is included to adjust drop and cast so the sighting plane matches your build and mount, a simple fitting step that pays immediate dividends on the range and in the field. A standard hard case rounds out the carry and storage piece of the puzzle.
Spec-minded shooters get the essentials without fuss: semi‑automatic operation, an engraved nickel‑plated alloy receiver, gloss blued barrel, standard grip, right‑hand configuration and 12‑gauge, 28‑inch or 20‑gauge, 26‑inch chambers and barrels. The system stays consistent from the first bird to the last with the same clean-running inertia core the Benelli Montefeltro name is known for.
MSRP is $2,299 for either gauge, a single price that covers the engraving package, choke set and case. For complete details, visit benelliusa.com.
