The Benelli 828U Field Nickel (10741) is a 20-gauge over/under shotgun built for upland hunters and wing shooters who want a longer swing on passing and crossing birds while keeping the gun light enough for all-day carry. This 20 gauge over under field shotgun combines a 28-inch Crio-treated barrel with Benelli's patented aluminum receiver and engraved nickel-plated finish for a gun that performs across hunting fields and clay courses alike.

Special Features
- Benelli's patented steel locking plate is integrated into an aluminum receiver, placing the stress of firing at the locking point in steel rather than distributing it through the receiver walls, delivering a platform that stays tight over thousands of rounds.
- The ejector system lives entirely on the barrel and activates on pressure impulse when a shell fires, cutting the mechanical linkages between the forend and trigger group that traditional over/under designs rely on and simplifying the entire system.
- The trigger group removes from the receiver without tools, giving you direct access to the action for cleaning after wet or dusty field conditions without a detailed strip down.
- Progressive Comfort technology builds three sets of interlocking flexible buffers into the stock to manage energy across load weights ranging from light 7/8-ounce 20-gauge target loads to full 3-inch hunting rounds.
- QuadraFit technology includes five drop shims and four cast shims, providing up to 40 stock fit configurations that let you tune the gun geometry to your exact build and shooting style before the season starts.
- Crio barrel treatment modifies the molecular structure of the bore and choke tube walls, lowering wad friction and producing more consistent, denser shot patterns at the target.
- The engraved nickel-plated receiver on the 828U Field Nickel (10741) delivers a premium hand-finished appearance that sets it apart from standard black-receiver variants in the 828U lineup without custom shop pricing.
- A factory hard case and shim kit are included with purchase.
Practical Benefits
- At 6.0 pounds with a 28-inch barrel, the 828U Field Nickel (10741) gives you a longer sight plane and a smooth momentum-building swing without the top-heavy feel that longer barrels can create in heavier guns.
- The 20-gauge platform keeps the gun compatible with a wide range of light to mid-weight field loads, making it ideal for pheasant, dove, quail, and sporting clays without overpowering smaller-framed shooters.
- QuadraFit lets you set the drop and cast before opening day so the gun mounts to the same position on your cheek every time, improving your consistency on moving targets from the first shot forward.
- The five included Crio chokes make this shotgun ready for hunting scenarios from tight timber to open fields straight out of the box, covering everything from improved cylinder for close flushes to full choke for longer crossing shots.
- The removable trigger group means post-hunt cleaning takes minutes at the bench rather than a full disassembly, keeping the 828U Field Nickel ready for the next outing.
- If you are an upland hunter or clay shooter looking for a lightweight 20 gauge over under that fits precisely, patterns consistently, and carries a premium finish into the field, the 828U delivers that package from the factory.
The Benelli 828U Field Nickel (10741) in 20 gauge is a reliable pick and a smart addition for the dedicated wing shooter who wants a well-fitted, lightweight gun with a 28-inch barrel that handles as well on the sporting clays course as it does in the upland field.
