Benelli’s ETHOS Upland A.I. 12651 is a premium 20 gauge, 28-inch semi-auto built for serious upland hunters who want a fast, ultra-reliable, and lightweight field gun with classic walnut looks and modern performance.
Key features
- Model 12651, UPC 650350126518, 20 gauge, 3-inch chamber, 28-inch barrel, 4+1 capacity.
- AA-grade satin walnut stock with anodized gray receiver and BE.S.T.-treated barrel for a high-end look and exceptional corrosion resistance in all weather.
- Weighs around 5.9 lb, making it an easy-carry choice for long days chasing pheasants, grouse, and other upland birds.
Performance and handling
- Benelli’s Inertia Driven semi-auto action delivers clean, reliable cycling with everything from lighter field loads up to heavy 3-inch shells, with less maintenance than gas systems.
- Advanced Impact (A.I.) barrel and AI Extended Crio choke tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F) tighten patterns and boost downrange energy for more decisive hits on flushing birds.
- Progressive Comfort recoil-reduction stock system automatically adjusts to the power of the load, keeping the gun comfortable and controllable in fast shooting.
Field-ready details
- Red fiber-optic front sight and 49.5-inch overall length promote quick, instinctive mounting and target acquisition in thick cover.
- Enlarged bolt handle and bolt-release lever are easy to run, even with gloves, so reloads and clearing are smooth in cold conditions.
- Included shim kit lets the shooter fine-tune drop and cast to achieve a custom fit and more natural point of impact.
Ideal for the hunter who wants a lightweight, fast-pointing 20 gauge with premium wood, modern coatings, and a feature set tuned for high-volume upland seasons.
