ETHOS Sport A.I. Semi-Auto Shotgun
Benelli’s Advanced Impact (A.I.) barrel technology brings modern competition performance to timeless design with the ETHOS Sport A.I. Built for serious sporting shooters, this refined semi-automatic shotgun is offered in a 3-inch 12-gauge configuration with a 30-inch barrel for smooth swing dynamics and consistent target tracking. An exquisite AA-grade satin walnut forend is paired with Benelli’s Progressive Comfort recoil-reducing stock, delivering reduced felt recoil without compromising balance or control. Enhanced with enlarged factory bolt controls and a Briley 6-oz. weighted forend cap to improve forward balance, the ETHOS Sport A.I. sets a new standard for classical aesthetics and high-level competition performance.
Up To 50% More Penetration On Target
– More energy translates to more knock-down power and dusted clays
Improved Pellet Density
– A.I. barrels produce a more uniform and tighter shot string
The Inertia Driven® System never needs adjusting and will cycle anything from light field loads to 3½" magnums with consistent reliability year after year. In fact, there are Inertia Driven® Benelli shotguns that have fired more than 500,000 rounds, still in the field and functioning perfectly.
The Crio® System combines a barrel frozen to -300° F with a specially designed longer choke tube that is also cryogenically treated. The result is a denser, more uniform shot pattern that puts more pellets on target.
Versatility without compromise: having a shotgun with a 3½" chamber does not mean you must always shoot the powerful stuff. The SBE 3’s patented locking mechanism works flawlessly with all shotgun loads from light clay loads to the ultimate goose-busters.
Incorporates three sets of patented interlocking flexible buffers that absorb recoil at different stages dependent on the strength of the shotshell’s load.
