Indeed, it is a very good weapon, I have had it for at least 10 years. Indeed, the plastics start to stick at some point, but I solved this problem with a good wash with hot water and a fine wire kitchen brush, and I solved the problem three years ago and it has not reappeared.

The gun indeed has amazing shots and is the most reliable option in the field of shotguns. The only problem I encountered, and the reason for the 3 stars, is its plastic parts. Purchased in 2011, unfortunately, two years ago the outer layer of the plastic on the stock and fore-end (the so-called soft touch) started to deteriorate, resulting in it sticking to the hands as if you had covered it with glue. I have tried everything to fix it, but nothing worked and it will probably need hydrographics. I learned that Benelli manufactures the plastic parts in Turkey and maybe that's the reason for the cheap material of the plastic parts. If I had known, I would have bought the version with wooden parts.
From the official dealership in Thessaloniki, they asked for €130 plus shipping to fix the problem with the plastic parts. After a lot of research (especially on hunterslife.gr) I found the solution. The gun was completely disassembled and then the soft touch was cleaned with cleaning agents. Now it is fine and fully operational again. However, for a company of Benelli's size, such an issue is not justified. Consequently, 5 stars for the gun as a hunting shotgun, but the 3 stars for the above problem remain.

I have had this gun since 2008. It is incredibly functional. Far better than any competition. It has the best shots of any other hunting weapon. However, it falls short in terms of its stock. It tends to shoot high. This can be fixed by filling the lower part of the pistol grip. The crescent shape of the pistol grip is very deep, so even when it seems like it is coming, when you pull the trigger, the gun moves away from the target, resulting in many missed shots. If Benelli ever solves the stock issue, then other brands will cease to exist. Those who own this particular rifle should definitely consult a shooting instructor first to identify the exact problem for the specific hunter, and then proceed with the necessary correction by adding (glue with a saw) or constructing a new one. Bending or cutting the stock gives the illusion that the problem is solved, but this only applies to certain angles when the gun is lifted. In other positions, you are somewhere else entirely.
