For some reason my Montefeltro only holds Three 3" Shells in the magazine. The fourth one goes in about 3/4th the way, which seems a little weird. Are all montefeltros like this? Thanks for the help.

my manuel says the shells are supposed to come out of the carrier, not the bolt.

bah... and my checking is ****ed up in quite a few places on the forearm... sigh

Are scratches on the receiver, where the forearm goes over, normal? because i have a little scruff mark there and i just got my gun TODAY...

I was learning how to load/unload my shotgun. I know how to load it, I know how to eject a shell in the chamber and load a new one. However, I can't seem to unload my gun via the "cartridge retaining lever". I'm going to assume that lever is the little tab holding the shell in. I can't seem to push it in, is this normal? I'd assume this will be easier once the gun is "broken" in. Thanks for the help - Joel

Ok, thanks for all your help.

Yeah, i know quite a few people who can help me. I was asking questions here because i thought you guys would know best about benelli shotguns. I have one last question which is about extended chokes. Couldn't i use a Full Extended Choke for steel because the steel has more of a time/compression ratio and wouldn't bunch up as much? Me and my friend dave usually go for geese alot and i don't think i can hit them with a modified choke. Thanks again for all your help tucker, it's really appreciated. - Joel

I am indeed anxious for my gun to arrive, and eager to learn everything about it What exactly are AA, and "Heavy" Shells? If i can't use full choke for steel, what would i use full choke for? Actually, what do i use all the chokes for? haha I was also wondering how i apply the oil to the inside of my barrel? What would i be looking for in one of these cleaning kits? Thanks Again - Joel

I just recently got into skeet, duck/pheasant hunting with my friend dave, along with my dad. I was using my dads model 11 shotgun for both this year, using Kent Tungsten Impact Matrix ammo so i wouldn't damage his barrel. I got a Benelli Monteferto Grade II for my christmas present this year. However, I have not received my gun yet, because it is on back order. Anyways, i had a few questions reguarding guns, and chokes, and just overall stuff. What does it come shipped in? Does it come with a Benelli hard case or do i need to buy one? I was a little eary of shooting steel through my gun. I have done some reasearch on chokes and for "Extended" chokes, it says it prevents damage to your barrel? Will the standard chokes that come with my gun, hurt my barrel after shooting alot of steel? Would it be worth getting extended ones, i don't even know if they make a difference. I don't really know what chokes are good for what, nor much about the shells that go along with them. I was planning on patterning my gun and picking out ammo for Skeet/Ducks/Geese/Pheasant, so any suggestios are WELCOME. I don't know much about guns and i want to keep my gun in nice shape, properly cared for and everything. I was going to get one of those Silicone socks to put it in, and a hard case. Was wondering if anyone else had suggestions. I wanted to break it in, but was unsure of how to do it. I was planning on shooting clays when i first get it. However, i was unsure of what to shoot, or if i should just use target loads. I was also wondering what exactly i should do to keep my gun clean and working properly. Not sure exactly what oil to use, do i oil my stock, the receiver, what? I bought a rope brush with brass cleaners in the middle which i was going to use to clean my barrel with. Is that correct? How do i keep my barrel from rusting? Do i clean and oil my gun everytime i shoot it? Well that's all the questions i could think of at the moment, i'm sure i'll get more in the future . You don't have to answer my questions specifically, i am just looking for General advice for a novice. A Anxious New Benelli Owner - Joel
