Benelli Montefeltro Sucks!!
« on: March 24, 2016, 10:01:38 AM »
And so does Benelli.

Their Montefeltro's have an issue with the action not closing the last 1/8" or they will re open after they were shut the same 1/8".

When this happens which is very, very, very often they don't go off!!!

I know of 4 owners and ALL have the same problem.

Benelli says tough.
I say Benelli sucks and you would be better off buying any other shotgun..

The "Benelli Click"  :chuckle:

You must have a cull then,but i doubt it. A lot of new semi-auto gun owners goop up their action with heavy greese or aren't patient enough to allow the gun to be broken in first. Some Benelli's really do need a little breaking in first but not many.Let us know if you have any better luck with anyother brand these days. IMO any Italian made gun beats others by far :twocents:

Call Benelli.
It's laughable.
They acknowledge the problem but say its how it is.
A gun that wont go bang.

It's my only semi.
Never again.
Back to over unders and pumps.

It's easy to spot the people here that don't own one.
Cull.....lol.

Is the silver a cull or just the two standard ones?

Been shooting a benelli semi for 8 years. They certainly do not suck, rather they are one of the best actions availible. I've never had the famed benelli click happen to me. I'm guessing operator error or a very dirt gun.

It happens a lot if you set you gun down on the butt too hard. The weight of the shell will cause the bolt to back out just enough to get the click. I changed my recoil spring to the Wolfe +25% spring and I'm very careful about setting it down. I also check for it as well. I wouldn't say Benelli's are junk. It's an issue caused by the operator IMO.

You should be able to treat your gun like a tool not a priceless heirloom. My hunting partners 20ga Monte does the same thing often.

"I'm guessing operator error or a very dirt gun."
If the bolt lever accidentally touches a wimpy piece of sage brush it can happen.

"It's an issue caused by the operator IMO."
LOL.
You had to change a recoil spring in your $1000 shotgun and you still have to be careful?
Still laughing.

They are great feeling and handling.
They just only go bang in a perfect world.

Everyone that is around them knows they do it.
They suck!!

My buddies brand new Silver does it right out of the box.
My "broken in" one does it.

It's the Italian thing to do.
JUNK!!!

How much you want to sell it for? Like I said I've shot my m2 for many years with 10s of thousands of rounds through it. I duck hunt a lot with usually a case or two of shells through it every season. I've never had an issue with the benelli click.

Operator issue.  Just don't slam it down.  You can get rid of it not closing all the way or eliminating it by sending it to Rob Roberts and have the forcing cone polished and smoothed out.  Closes and cycles faster afterwards.  A good gun and I have done the same. 
Sell it if you don't like it.  O/U is idiot proof.  No pun intended.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I sold my Montefeltro to Cabelas because of the same thing and I dumped my M2. Benelli's kick me like mules, I mostly shoot Beretta's now because they fit me better right out of the box. For clay targets I shoot an O/U and if it is a crappy day I shoot a Win SX2. Even the SX2 has a click once and a while due to a design issue, the hammer hits the bolt operating rod.  :twocents:
