benelli performance shop supersport review

The recoil pad itself is particularly effective, distributing recoil over a longer period. The ComforTech recoil reduction system and Technogel pad mitigate felt recoil by nearly 50%, helping you get on target more than 65% faster for follow-up shots. The rotating bolt is exceptionally strong and secure, locking into the barrel even tighter during firing. It’s also a very clean system, as gas smoke and burnt powder stay in the barrel rather than being blown back into the firing mechanism. In the case of the in-line driven ejector system, it never requires adjustment and can efficiently cycle every kind of cartridge regardless of the differing pressures they develop. At the same time, the spent cartridge case is ejected and the bolt re-cocked as another cartridge is chambered.

Relying entirely on the forces generated by the explosion of the cartridge, the bolt is driven rearwards to compress a powerful inertia spring in the stock. Benelli claims this makes it the strongest and most reliable shotgun of its type available. This version of the Benelli semi-auto operates on the same basic principle of inertia operation, with a fixed barrel utilising the kinetic energy of gun recoil, still the most important, ingenious feature of these guns. This, together with a silver-plated action body and carbon-fibre stock and fore-end, creates a sober but elegant appearance not usually found on a semi-auto shotgun. The Benelli Supersport UK Special Edition model incorporates non-ported barrels, extended chokes, an oversized bolt handle and bolt release. Designed specially for the UK market, its general appearance is both elegant and restrained. The Supersport UK Special Edition is, as its designation suggests, particularly efficient. The self-loading shotgun, invariably dubbed the automatic, has enjoyed long periods of popularity as succeeding generations have woken up to its ingenious design and its mechanical function.īenelli is a wholly owned partner in the Beretta Group and the two companies continue to push the boundaries of technology, both in gun design and development in metallurgy. This stunning Benelli Supersport UK Special Edition semi-auto has sooth recoil and enough weight to handle longer targets Vic Harker reviews
