Our Assessment: Benelli’s Ultra Light series was engineered to redefine what a modern field shotgun could be, combining the company’s renowned inertia-driven action with significant weight reduction for long days afield. Introduced as one of the lightest semiautomatic 12-gauges ever produced, the design incorporates a carbon-fiber vent rib, a shortened magazine tube, a scalloped alloy receiver, and a svelte walnut stock to produce a remarkably quick-handling upland gun. By 2013, when this example was manufactured, the Ultra Light had already earned a reputation for delivering the rugged reliability of the Montefeltro family with the lively balance of a fine bird gun.
Chambered for 2 ¾ and 3-inch 12-gauge shells, this shotgun pairs Benelli’s recoil-operated action with a bright, clean bore and factory choke system, offering excellent versatility for upland hunting or clay shooting. The A-grade walnut furniture shows beautifully and remains free of meaningful wear, matching the metalwork’s extremely strong finish. Its light weight, high-visibility fiber-optic sighting system, and nearly unfired appearance make this a standout example of one of Benelli’s most admired sporting designs.
