From Benelli
Benelli brings together the best of both style and high performance with the introduction of the ETHOS Cordoba BE.S.T. shotgun. Designed for high-volume shooting, such as dove hunting in Argentina, the ETHOS Cordoba enjoys upgraded features along with the industry leading Benelli BE.S.T. finish technology for ultimate protection from rust and corrosion.
Built to withstand thousands of rounds, the Benelli ETHOS Cordoba BE.S.T. relies on the ultra reliable Inertia-Driven operating system to deliver shot after shot without failure when the hunting heats up. The new shotgun combines the best features of a target gun with the strength of a hunting gun. Premium features such as ported barrels for quick follow-up shots and the ComfortTech recoil-reducing system to soak up recoil create a lightweight and perfectly balanced shotgun.
The front fiber-optic sight along with a mid-rib bead sit in a wide broadway sight channel to naturally lead a shooter’s eye to the target for instinctive aiming. The Shell View system with small windows in the magazine tube give instant feedback as to how many shells are loaded. The barrel and chokes are coated with Benelli’s BE.S.T. finish for protection from a shotgun’s worst enemies – rust and corrosion.
Benelli developed a hybrid PVD/PECVD machine that uses diamond-like carbon particles applied with a high-vacuum plasma nanotechnology to apply the BE.S.T. finish. The process is environmentally friendly and produces no hazardous chemical by-product while delivering a layer of high-hardness for superior abrasion and corrosion resistance. The insides of the barrels are chrome-lined for additional protection.
Benelli answered the call for a gun that can withstand punishing high-volume shooting with the lightning fast handling, featherlight weight and a soft kick for hours of enjoyment in the field. The new shotgun is available in 12 gauge, 20 gauge and 28 gauge and can handle loads up to 3-inch magnums down to the lightest 7/8-ounce loads.
