About the Benelli Ethos Upland

The Benelli Ethos Upland A.I. is a field-grade semi-automatic upland bird shotgun built on the Ethos Inertia Driven platform. It pairs an AA-grade satin walnut stock and fore-end with a brushed gray receiver and a 28-inch ported gloss-black barrel finished in Benelli's BE.S.T. surface treatment. The Advanced Impact (A.I.) barrel and extended nickel A.I. Crio choke tubes produce tighter, more consistent patterns, while the Progressive Comfort recoil-reduction system self-adjusts to load power for all-day upland carry and shooting.

Where most autoloaders chase tactical black polymer, the Ethos Upland leans the other way entirely, dressing its high-tech inertia action in AA-grade walnut and a brushed receiver so it looks at home next to a classic side-by-side in the grouse woods.
