( Note, this belongs to #1 Shooting and Handloading Partner. The range session generally has its thread in Rec Shooting.)
The 'zine writeups say everthing is new and inovative. This time there is truth to it. Floating breech face with steel to steel lockup in battery. The alloy frame is non-load bearing. So this allows for a lightweight gun. Also as the spacers to adjust pitch and cast off. Also insert to be able to adjust comb height.
Not sure if he adjusted to fithimself, but it fits me perfectly. Ok, I could use 1/2 longer, but I'm use to stocks sized for mortals.
The balance is at the hindge pin. Nuetral balance, very lively.
Using it with 12v pigeon thrower, I was hitting many more than I usually do.
It hits high. On rising targets, holding on. The target gives breaks into large pieces. Holding under rising target gives more emphatic breaks. ( Its been a while , but I know how to mount a shotgun, and how ribs and beads are supposed to be in relationship. So it really was shooting high.)
Not really Bad News per se, but some potential incongruities.
The main designer from Benelli said in an intervier with Am Rifleman that the 828U is intended to be an all around shotgun, with emphasis on hunting. Cool. That's legit, and in line with my preferences. But , most shotguns aimed gor that ma t ket segment are more moderately priced. Most buyers that spend msrp $2500 are usually into clay games.
Sub 7lb is great for actual hunting where you carry it a lot, and shoot occasionally. Most trap/ skeet-/ SC shooters prefer heavier. Likewise they usually prefer a somewhat muzzle foreward balance.
