Battaglia Angel
Notes: This is a
double-barreled shotgun using Purdey locking and barrels formed from single
blocks of steel that are welded together (known as a demi-bloc).
The Angel may have single or double triggers, according to the wishes of
the buyer; it the Angel has a single trigger, both barrels may not be fired at
once. The Angel has automatic
ejectors. Chokes are made to
customer order. The stock is
slender and looks fragile, but is of exceptional strength and quality.
Like most Battaglia shotguns, the Angel has intricate and beautiful
engraving on the breech block.

Battaglia History
Notes: This is a
shotgun of excellent quality, made only to order and with barrels of anywhere
between 26 to 30 inches (some typical barrels are shown below).
It uses side-locks based on those of Zanotti.
The barrels are of demi-bloc construction.
The barrels have automatic ejection of spent shells.
The stock is made of walnut root; this makes the weapon light, and though
the stock looks fragile, it is far from being so.
The chokes are also made to order by Battaglia for the customer.
The triggers are double or single, according to the desires of the
customer. The breech block features
detailed and beautiful engraving by Massimiliano Gobbi, a noted engraver.

Battaglia Manuela
Notes: This is a
double-barreled shotgun with side-locks of the Holland & Holland type.
It is built only in 20 Gauge (2.75-inch or 3-inch shells), and is
designed primarily for female shooters.
The barrels are attached to their own block, then welded together to form
a demi-bloc. The Manuela has
automatic ejection for spent shells.
Choke is made to the choice of the buyer.
The stock is made from select walnut root, and as with most Battaglia
shotguns, is slender and appears fragile though it is not.
As with virtually all Battaglia guns, the breech block is decorated with
intricate and beautiful engravings.

Notes: This
double-barreled shotgun has Holland & Holland-type side-locks.
Like most Battaglia shotguns, the Mercedes has a demi-bloc barrel
construction, the breech block is decorated with intricate and beautiful

Battaglia Monia
Notes: Similar
to the Mercedes, this is a double-barreled shotgun with Holland & Holland
side-locks, demi-bloc barrel construction, single or twin triggers, and
intricate carving on the breech block.
The Monia has automatic ejectors and Battaglia’s usual walnut-root stock
or deceptive strength. Chokes are
to the customer’s request, as is the barrel length.
The gun is a bit heavier than the Mercedes, but otherwise similar for
game purposes.

Battaglia Morena
Notes: This
double-barrel shotgun has external hammers and side locks.
The Morena comes only with automatic extractors and double triggers.
As is usual with Battaglia shotguns, the barrel lengths vary from 26 to
30 inches, the chokes are made to order, and the breech block is decorated with
fancy and intricate engraving. The
stock is the standard walnut root of deceptive strength.

Benelli 828U
Notes: The Model
828U is one of the very few Benelli over-and-under designs; normally, Benelli
specializes in pump-action and semiauto shotguns.
The Model is a recent addition to the Benelli line, appearing only within
the past few years (as of the time I write this in April 2019).
It uses a number of improvements and innovations pioneered by Benelli on
their pump and semiauto shotguns, such as light steel alloy construction, the
Progressive Comfort Stock, a set of polymer interlocking leaf springs in the
stock for recoil absorption, a free-floating steel locking plate instead of a
hinge and pin system for breaking the weapon open – a feature that eliminates
the need for a heavy steel receiver.
Therefore, the Model 828U is also amazingly light.
These features make the Model 828U a competitor in the already-tight
upland hunting market. The Model
828U also features an aluminum receiver, an open mid-rib carbon fiber sight rib.
The combination of the Progressive Comfort Stock and the leaf-spring
recoil technology is claimed by Benelli to reduce felt recoil by 30 percent; add
to this a thick gel recoil pad with an air form insert, and the Model 828U kicks
well below what one would expect.
Operation is what you would think from this type of shotgun, but it works
differently, pivoting open on the steel side plates at four points, and locking
up at the same four points, with a simple sliding switch opening the breech.
This also means that lockup strength will not become looser with time.
Finishes
included a matte silver barrel, trigger, trigger guard, and hammer, with a black
receiver and side plates; and the same matte silver for most of the external
metalwork, with nickel-plated side plates and receiver.
