The bolt locked open on the first dry cycle. I quick internet search and a call to the manager of the gun shop confirmed this is a somewhat common problem.\nThe shotgun is beautifully crafted with its walnut stock and nickel-plated receiver. All that attention to artistic detail is meaningless if it can perform its primary function.","textLength":386,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":2,"downVotes":1,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[{"type":1,"dimensionId":3,"dimensionLabel":"Value","id":8,"code":"VAL02","label":null,"value":2},{"type":1,"dimensionId":4,"dimensionLabel":"Durability","id":12,"code":"DUR01","label":null,"value":1},{"type":1,"dimensionId":5,"dimensionLabel":"Quality","id":17,"code":"QUAL1","label":null,"value":1}],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":null,"firstName":"Jeffrey","lastName":"Podhajsky","emailAddress":"[email protected]","externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2025-07-17T13:20:16-04:00","purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2023-11-10T20:58:31-05:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"5691-10462","title":"Benelli ETHOS Engraved Nickel-Plated Receiver 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/5691-10462","category":"semi-automatic-shotguns","reviewCount":5,"ratingCount":5,"averageRating":4,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":1,"3":1,"4":0,"5":3},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":2316084,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Excellent upland shotgun!","text":"Incredible shotgun!

I am not an expert in any shotgun discipline, but this firearm may seek to change that.\n\nReliability - I haven’t yet had the chance to put 7+ miles a day hiking through Minnesota and South Dakota pheasant fields, but of all the gentlemen I hunt with, no one who carries a Benelli Inertia Driven shotgun has had any issues. I have no doubt that this gun is built to the same standards - the action is butter smooth, and the fit and finish is immaculate.\n\nWeight - this shotgun is incredibly light and beautifully balanced. At this price point, your comparing against a lot of very impressive firearms, but for me (6’0, 215lbs) this firearm feels like an extension of my body. I can’t wait to experience how much nicer this shotgun feels to carry around for long days out in the field, it is very noticeably lighter than any other semi-auto shotgun I’ve ever handled.\n\nQuality - the fit and finish is impressive, all\nThe recoil-reducing enhancements of the stock and drive system are very much appreciated. The cheek rest is soft and comfortable, the sights are dead on, and every individual piece of the gun looks impeccable. The gun has had no issues with lighter target loads - something my M3000 has frequent issues with.\n\nAccuracy - it’s a shotgun, you point and shoot right? Prior to owning this firearm, I was consistently shooting an average of about 32/50 on various sporting clays courses. Since upgrading to this firearm, with its wonderful balance, easy to obtain sight picture, and all its other enhancements, I have consistently been shooting significantly better - my first round out I was able to shoot a 39/50, and followed that up with a 41/50. The confidence this gun instills in the shooter with how seamlessly it interacts with you during the shooting motion, is as close to perfect as I could have hoped for.\n\nI am excited to carry this gun in the field with me for year and years to come, and I fully suspect that all the design work that Benelli put into this firearm will yield better shots landing more birds. I would recommend this gun to anyone who feels that it’s dimensions work for you - it is an amazing tool and a work of art.","textLength":2440,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":1,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":null,"firstName":"Brian","lastName":"Mcfadden","emailAddress":"[email protected]","externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2022-09-24T14:21:42-04:00","purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2022-09-24T12:51:40-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"5691-10462","title":"Benelli ETHOS Engraved Nickel-Plated Receiver 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/5691-10462","category":"semi-automatic-shotguns","reviewCount":5,"ratingCount":5,"averageRating":4,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":1,"3":1,"4":0,"5":3},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]}],"offset":0,"limit":10,"total":3}
