TFL Review Summary

The Benelli Montefeltro Ultra Light delivers a sleek and efficient design perfect for upland hunters seeking a lightweight and reliable shotgun. During our review, we were impressed by its balance, weighing just 6.3 lbs for the 12-gauge model, which made it easy to carry throughout the day. The carbon fiber rib and shortened barrel contribute to the lightweight feel without sacrificing durability. Its ergonomics are on point, with comfortable stippling on the stock and a smooth, responsive trigger that enhances shooting accuracy. While the bolt handle could be more user-friendly, the overall handling was a standout feature.

In terms of shooting performance, the Montefeltro Ultra Light showed its true potential in the field. Despite being a lighter gun, it handled recoil well and cycled smoothly with a variety of loads, making it ideal for upland bird hunting. The inertia-driven system provided reliable cycling, and the shotgun's point of impact remained consistent throughout testing. After swapping to the modified choke, we experienced improved accuracy, making it a solid choice for both close-range and longer-distance shots. Overall, the Benelli Montefeltro Ultra Light combines comfort, reliability, and performance, making it a great option for hunters looking for a quality semi-auto shotgun that won't weigh them down.

Manufacturer Summary

When enjoying long days on the prairie or scrambling through the grouse woods, veteran uplanders know that ounces equal pounds. That's why Benelli engineers developed the Montefeltro Ultra Light. Boasting a shortened mag tube (that can be extended when needed) and a carbon-fiber rib with 26-in. (12-ga.) and 24-in. (20-ga.) barrels, the Montefeltro Ultra Light features the Benelli Inertia Driven System, providing effortless cycling of even light loads to further reduce weight so you can stay in the game for “just one more."
