THE MONTEFELTRO USES BENELLI'S INERTIA-OPERATED ACTION, WHICH RELIES ON THE RECOIL OF THE FIREARM TO CYCLE THE MECHANISM RATHER THAN A CONVENTIONAL GAS-OPERATED SYSTEM. THIS DESIGN GENERALLY KEEPS THE ACTION RELATIVELY CLEAN AND REDUCES THE NUMBER OF GAS- Notes: The Montefeltro uses Benelli's inertia-operated action, which relies on the recoil of the firearm to cycle the mechanism rather than a conventional gas-operated system. This design generally keeps the action relatively clean and reduces the number of gas-system components that require maintenance. Its main trade-off is that some light target loads may not cycle reliably in every gun. The shotgun's fit to the shooter also matters: its light construction makes it easy to carry, but felt recoil can be more noticeable than with a heavier shotgun.
