Description
The ETHOS Supersport A.I. is the first competition shotgun from the Benelli Performance Shop to feature the innovative Advanced Impact (A.I.) barrel system and A.I. Crio® choke tubes. Available in 3-inch 12-gauge, this shotgun is designed for peak performance on the range. Its sleek carbon-fiber finish is complemented by the Comfort Tech® 3 recoil reduction system, a nickel-plated receiver, and eye-catching red anodized Briley accents, including the bolt handle, bolt release, and weighted forend cap. With cutting-edge technology and striking design, the ETHOS Supersport A.I. redefines competition shooting. (Only on 12-Gauge Models)
Advanced Impact
Up To 50% More Penetration On Target
– More energy translates to more knock-down power and dusted clays
Improved Pellet Density
– A.I. barrels produce a more uniform and tighter shot string
Crio System
The Crio® System combines a barrel frozen to -300° F with a specially designed longer choke tube that is also cryogenically treated. The result is a denser, more uniform shot pattern that puts more pellets on target.
Inertia Driven System
The Inertia Driven® System never needs adjusting and will cycle anything from light field loads to 3½" magnums with consistent reliability year after year. In fact, there are Inertia Driven® Benelli shotguns that have fired more than 500,000 rounds, still in the field and functioning perfectly.
Easy Locking Bolt System
Versatility without compromise: having a shotgun with a 3½" chamber does not mean you must always shoot the powerful stuff. The SBE 3’s patented locking mechanism works flawlessly with all shotgun loads from light clay loads to the ultimate goose-busters.
Comfort Tech 3
ComforTech was the first recoil-reduction system of its kind. By splitting the stock diagonally and utilizing shock-absorbing chevrons, the entire stock was transformed into a recoil pad. This chevron system, now 16 years old, is still the most efficient design available and was the basis for the SBE 3 stock. The chevron size and location has been optimized on ComforTech 3. Further, Benelli engineers created a new cheek-comb pad called Combtech, which greatly reduces facial impact and vibrations.
