Inertia Driven®
Benelli’s Inertia Driven® system, developed in 1967, operates cleanly and reliably without adjustments.

- Residue doesn’t enter the gun’s mechanism
- Remains cleaner than gas systems
Strong
- Steel locking lugs on a rotating bolt head
- Bolt head locks steel-to-steel with the barrel
- Lock becomes even tighter during firing
Fast
- Smaller mass of parts
- Quicker than other operating systems
Low Maintenance
- Operates more cleanly than gas-system guns
- Less time required for cleaning
Lightweight

Perfectly Balanced
- Balances as a fine game gun should
- No heavy components under the forend
Crio® System
With Crio® System barrels, you get denser patterns with 13.2% more pellets on target.
Cryogenically treating a barrel relieves stresses caused by hammer forging, creating a smoother and more uniform surface. Benelli Crio® barrels pattern better and they stay cleaner longer.
Why Freeze Barrels?
The Crio® System combines a barrel frozen to -300° F with a cryogenically treated, longer choke tube. Freezing the barrel…
- Relieves the stresses caused by hammer forging
- Creates an even-grained, slick surface
- Means less resistance against wads and shot
Better Shot Patterns
It’s easy to see the difference between the patterns of a cryogenically treated barrel and an untreated one. The Crio® System…
- Creates a uniform shot pattern
- Enables barrels to stay cleaner longer
