The Benelli ETHOS Upland series has reached new heights with the integration of BE.S.T. barrels and the Advanced Impact barrel system. Purpose-built for upland hunters, these shotguns combine rugged durability with elite performance. The BE.S.T. treatment offers industry-leading corrosion resistance backed by a 25-year warranty, while the Advanced Impact system boosts energy, velocity, and pattern density for cleaner, more effective hits. Powered by Benelli’s proven Inertia Driven® System, the ETHOS cycles everything from light trap loads to heavy magnum shells with ease. Enhanced with an oversized bolt handle and bolt-release lever, it’s the ultimate tool for upland shooting mastery.

BE.S.T BENELLI SURFACE TREATMENT

Benelli BE.S.T. surface treatment is simply the most effective rust and corrosion firearm protection available. Benelli is so confident in the BE.S.T performance that treated parts are backed with a 25-year warranty against rust and corrosion.

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.
