Our Assessment: The Benelli Ethos Sport in 20 gauge is a premium semi-automatic shotgun, renowned for its blend of advanced technology and elegant design. Featuring a 28-inch ported barrel threaded for Crio chokes, this shotgun offers excellent performance for sporting clays, skeet, and other competitive shooting disciplines. The Crio chokes and cryogenically treated barrel improve shot patterns and reduce barrel fouling, providing consistent, reliable performance across a variety of shooting conditions. The ported barrel also helps reduce muzzle rise, making follow-up shots faster and more controlled. A standout feature of the Ethos Sport is its carbon fiber rib, which reduces the overall weight of the shotgun improving swing speed. This lightweight design allows shooters to move quickly and maintain better control when tracking fast-moving targets. The shotgun is further distinguished by its finely crafted wood furniture, combining the beauty of a traditional shotgun with the innovation of modern materials, making it both functional and visually appealing. The Progressive Comfort butt pad is another key component of the Ethos Sport. It utilizes a multi-stage system that absorbs and mitigates recoil, making it comfortable to shoot even during long sessions or when using heavier loads. This feature, combined with the overall lightweight and ergonomic design, makes the Benelli Ethos Sport an ideal choice for competitive shooters seeking a balance of style, technology, and performance.
