Benelli Raffaello BE.ST Limited Edition

The Raffaello A.I. BE.S.T. (Benelli Surface Treatment) Limited Edition 12 bore semi-auto by Benelli stands as a distinguished addition to their limited series, comprising only a thousand pieces. This exclusive model boasts the Benelli Advanced Impact Technology (A.I.), designed to optimise the ballistic performance of its barrel and choke.

A distinctive feature of this limited edition is its exquisite engraving, a tribute to the art of hunting. The receiver features intricate engravings created through rolling techniques, depicting scenic landscapes and hunting scenarios. On the right side, a Labrador racing into water after ducks, and on the left, a German gundog with golden pheasants, both frozen in a picturesque setting. The engraving extends with floral motifs, some adorned in electrolytic gold, and a decorative Renaissance-themed pattern. This craftsmanship captures the noble spirit and essence of hunting.

The receiver is finished with a nickel-plated Ergal, engraved via rolling and lasered techniques, meticulously traced by hand to achieve its detailed design.

The stock and forend are oil finished grade 4 walnut.
