The Benelli Sport II is a semi-automatic hunting shotgun chambered in 12 gauge and 20 gauge. It uses Benelli’s Inertia Driven System uses recoil energy to cycle the action. The bolt is semi-fixed until the backwards force, vibrating through the gun, arrives to the bolt housing, the vibration rattles the bolt and it slides back. As it travels back it pushes against the inertia spring and once compressed all the way, the spring pushes back launching the bolt forward. This system is used instead of letting gas or the initial explosion drive the bolt back. And, since the gases can’t seep through into the chamber there won’t be any carbon-build up.

Features include a beautiful A-grade Walnut stock with a satin finish. The vent rib acts as a guide leading to the mid bead and bright red bar front sight. It’s lightweight at a little more than 7 pounds.

Benelli recommends the Sport II for shooting clays.
