Was thinking about the montefeltro 20 gauge by Benelli...

Almost bought one last year...I picked up a new one this year and held it....and am I crazy or does it appear cheaper made this year.?..as in less quality....It just seems a little plasticer or mass madeish....

Any way...anyone see a difference?

More important...would this make a difference to anyone? Should I buy one that is a year older??

Montefelto 20 ga.

I was looking at the same gun today. I thought it was the sweetest handling shotgun in the rack and I looked at them all.

The action is just buttery.

The finish is so smooth that I too was flicking it to see if it was plastic, although I knew it wasn't. My taste would favor a little more red in the stain.

After shouldering that Montefeltro, the other B-gun felt bigger and bulkier. I think that the lean forend gives that impression.

If I was in the market for a 20 ga., that would be my pick.
 
Thanks Brooks!!

Yeah the guys behind the counter are pumped (auto) up on it too!!

I'll have to see if I can find an extra $850 in my pockets.
 
Montefeltro 20's do look & feel a bit "shiney and dainty".
Especially, if you've been handling alot of "manly" M1 tactical 12's lately.
That's natural. The Montefeltro is the gentleman/lady's end of the Benelli line of shotguns.
But they seem to be practically "alive" in your hands when a bird flushes! They are pure pleasure to swing on an active afternoon in a dove-field, or carry all day chasing grouse in steep mountains. My wife's Monte 20 gets "borrowed" often for such outings. When I want to swat down big Canada geese with authority, I take out my 3.5" Super Black Eagle!
