Benelli has been making the 828U for a few years. They announced a left hand opening gun last year and they are finally in the country. I ordered one for a customer and was pleased to find that they open easily and although the architecture is a bit unusual, it is supposed to be a technical innovation in several design aspects. The 28" guns are supposed to weight 6.5 pounds. This specimen weighed 6 lb 2 oz. Not bad for a 3" 12 GA. The drop and cast are adjustable. Drop is adjustable from 42mm to 65mm. The manual says cast is adjustable up to 6mm either way. The customer needed more, so I put two 6mm shims together and got it lined up perfectly for him. Other than the Blaser F3, I don't know of another production gun with left hand opening as an option. I wouldn't mind a 20GA in one of these. Probably they will add one in the future.

I’d bet a 6lb 2oz gun doesn’t see many 3” 12 gauge rounds.
Did you take a few pictures of it? Love to see it.
Best, Ted

YouTube reviews are mostly bad.
A friend bought one for his son I've witnessed all kind of firing/ejecting issues with it....kid pinched his hand on the two long projections sticking off the rear of the barrels.
You would think that Benelli being owned by Berreta could do better than this albatross of an O/Ur shotgun.

Mr.Gun dealer man I have a question for you....beings as you've chosen to flat out deny being a Gun Dealer when selling and advertising your over priced auctions and wares in the for sale section of this site. How could anyone buy from you an expect an honest answer/representation about anything ? Just curious....

The world IS changing, but, that one has an, I dunno, for lack of a better description, an “outlander” look that doesn’t appeal to me.
I am beginning to know younger guys that only own one gun for everything, and I bet this would appeal to them.
Try to ignore the clown that dances through your posts. He thinks he owns the place. Last gun photo he put up was of a SBE, also outside the rules.
Best, Ted

Mr.Shite'Fer brainz...that Albatros of a shotgun should very much appeal to you.
It's quite an improvement over your Mossburg pumper or the Darne French slide bolt junker you push.

I find that one ounce of shot, placed properly, is all I need for upland game. I use that in the 12, 16, 20 and 28GA guns. I just came back from a pheasant hunt, 28 birds in the cooler. Life is good. I have no fear of clowns.
