ETHOS Supersport A.I. Semi-Auto Shotguns
The ETHOS Supersport A.I. is Benelli’s competition shotgun featuring the Advanced Impact (A.I.) barrel system and A.I. Crio® choke tubes, engineered to deliver tighter patterns and enhanced downrange consistency. Available in both 12- and 20-gauge configurations, the ETHOS Supersport A.I. is built for peak performance on the range. A sleek carbon-fiber finish is paired with the ComforTech® 3 recoil-reduction system to minimize felt recoil and improve control during fast shooting sequences. Premium details include a nickel-plated receiver and red anodized Briley accents on the bolt handle, bolt release, and weighted forend cap (12 ga. only). With advanced technology and refined competition styling, the ETHOS Supersport A.I. sets a new standard in sporting shotgun 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 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.
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.
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.
ComforTech was the first recoil-reduction system of its kind. By splitting the stock diagonally and utilizing shock-absorbing chevrons, the entire stock was transformed into a recoil pad. This chevron system, now 16 years old, is still the most efficient design available and was the basis for the SBE 3 stock. The chevron size and location has been optimized on ComforTech 3. Further, Benelli engineers created a new cheek-comb pad called Combtech, which greatly reduces facial impact and vibrations.
