Special Features

• Benelli's patented steel locking system and plate is built into an aluminum receiver, combining the strength of steel with the lighter weight of aluminum for a shotgun that holds up without adding unnecessary bulk.
• The ejector system is fully contained on the barrel and activates on impulse when a shell is fired, eliminating linkages between the trigger group and forend for a cleaner, more reliable design.
• The trigger group removes completely from the receiver without tools, making field cleaning and maintenance straightforward.
• Progressive Comfort technology uses three sets of interlocking flexible buffers built into the stock to absorb energy across different load strengths, from light field loads to heavier hunting rounds.
• QuadraFit technology provides five drop shims and four cast shims for up to 40 fit configurations, allowing the shooter to dial in stock geometry to their exact measurements.
• Crio barrel treatment alters the molecular structure of the steel at the barrel and choke tubes, reducing wad friction and delivering shot patterns that are measurably more dense and consistent.
• The engraved nickel-plated receiver on the 828U Field Nickel (10703) adds a hand-finished appearance that sets it apart from standard black-receiver variants in the 828U lineup.
• A standard hard case and shim kit are included from the factory.

Practical Benefits

• The 26-inch barrel length and 6.5-pound weight make this shotgun easy to carry through cover all day and quick to swing on flushing birds without feeling front-heavy.
• The QuadraFit shim system means you can tune the gun to fit your build precisely, which directly improves your mount consistency and accuracy in the field.
• The removable trigger group makes it practical to clean the action after a wet or dusty hunt without a trip to a gunsmith.
• The Crio choke system is compatible with a full five-choke spread included at purchase, making this gun ready to adapt from open-cover pheasant work to tighter timber woodcock hunting without additional accessories.
• Hunters who want a lightweight 12 gauge over under that fits a range of load types, from 2-3/4 inch light upland loads to 3 inch field loads, will find the 828U handles both without requiring any adjustment.
• If you are looking for a premium over/under that fits like a custom gun without the custom price tag, the QuadraFit system and Progressive Comfort stock give you that level of control from the factory.

The Benelli 828U Field Nickel (10703) in 12 gauge is a proven platform and a smart addition for the serious upland hunter who demands both performance and a well-finished gun in the field.
