    Benelli Model:Raffaello

    Anyone here have one of these?
    What are they like and how do you find them to shoot.
    Likes & dislikes.
    Have just seen this one in the flesh and its very tempting.

    Looks very nice but its still a "dirty gun", picking fired cases just gets real old real fast. Being a Benelli it will work as advertised.
    Perhaps you should buy it and give us a wee report??

    what do you mean by this? direct impingment/blow back dirty (I think thats what you mean) but what is picking fired cases?

    I had one of these in a 20ga. (Well it was actually a 50th anniversary but is the same gun with a different engraving set) they are stunning to shoot and are a real pleasure to look at. We do not have any anniversary editions left in stock at Beretta, so all are out in the wild/stores.

    There was a limited edition 12g at Gun City in Pentose. It was a lovely gun and handled well. Gone now.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Not this year as we got a fraction of the previous few seasons, the group I do opening with that targets parries.
    We would pick up the spent wads.
    Cases are easy peasy.
    And the mag stick at the gun club is also very handy.

    How very serendipitous.

    When I load black powder 12 gauge I use fibre wads, so no wads to pickup but I am very conscious of the "Pick up your hulls" and[ do so. Moving on, I have just started using a semi 12 g at a local range, not targeting at all, just using the range as an acceptable venue "for noise" as I am working towards getting it to recycle sub sonic loads. However, this involves using a moderator which requires loads to be in plastic wads.

    However after returning home and viewing your post and having emptied a box into the blue, I was troubled as to whether I should also have wandered around and "picked up" 25 plastic wads, even if they were not mine.

    Your views please.

    I think there’s 1 of these models rafaellos at Hunting fishing Tauranga, blinged up to max, with a roundabout 6k price tag, sweet looking gun.
