Our Assessment: This is a beautiful shotgun made by Benelli. Their semi-automatic shotguns almost all use the ingenious inertial operating system that has made Benelli famous and the Legacy is no exception. Simple and reliable, the Legacy takes the operating system a step further by pairing it with gorgeous walnut stocks and etched engraved nickel-finished alloy receiver with a classic combination of scroll and game scenes. This is a gorgeous shotgun that will shoot as good as it looks and turn a few heads at the range. Please see our photos and good luck!
