Detailed Features 

The semi-automatic action cycles quickly, so follow-up shots don't require manually working the action between targets. A red bar front sight gives a clear reference for fast target acquisition. The walnut stock has a satin finish that wears well and looks good without the artificial sheen of a high-gloss coat. Included Crio chokes (IC, M, F) cover the main shot patterns, from open cylinder territory out to tighter patterns for longer shots on upland birds or waterfowl. The 3-inch chamber handles standard 2.75-inch loads as well as the longer shells. 
 

Target Audience 

 
The Montefeltro suits hunters who want a reliable semi-auto with classic aesthetics rather than a synthetic-stocked utility gun. It also works for clay shooters who want a shotgun that performs and looks the part. The walnut furniture appeals to anyone who finds polymer stocks uninspiring. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

• Hunting: The inertia system handles field conditions reliably, and the 28-inch barrel and included chokes give flexibility across upland and waterfowl applications. 
• Clay Shooting: The quick cycling and clear front sight make it a practical choice for sporting clays or skeet.

The Benelli Montefeltro Walnut gets strong marks across most categories, though a few practical concerns are worth noting.

Reliability is the most-cited strength. Owners report the inertia system cycles cleanly across light target loads and heavier hunting shells without fuss. The lightweight build, 7.1 lbs, comes up repeatedly as a field advantage; hunters who cover a lot of ground appreciate not hauling a heavy gun all day. The walnut stock draws genuine appreciation, not just for looks but for the feel of a well-fitted wood stock in the hands. Users describe it as a shotgun that holds its value and ages well.

Versatility is frequently mentioned. Owners use it for upland game, waterfowl, and clay shooting without needing to change much beyond the choke.

On the critical side, price is the most common friction point. Some buyers feel the cost is high relative to other semi-auto shotguns with similar performance, and for shooters who don't care about the walnut stock, the value math is harder to justify. Recoil management comes up occasionally. The gun is manageable for most, but a few shooters note they added a recoil pad or aftermarket stock for extended range sessions. Maintenance after heavy use or wet conditions gets mentioned as somewhat involved compared to simpler actions. Aftermarket customization options are limited compared to platforms like the Beretta A400 series.
