This is your Weekly Shot—where we break down a standout firearm or accessory: what makes it tick, how it performs in the field (or on the range), and why it deserves a permanent slot in your arsenal. If you’re chasing heritage craftsmanship wrapped in Italian engineering, this is a shotgun you’ll never let go of.
This week, we’re showcasing the Benelli Raffaello World Class Limited Edition—a work of art disguised as a semi-auto shotgun. With only 250 made in each gauge, it’s as rare as it is refined. Elegant, functional, and collector-worthy, this shotgun brings next-level performance in a package that turns heads before you even shoulder it.
Let’s break down why this limited edition deserves a spot in your collection—and why Fort Thompson Sporting Goods is the place to get it.
Why the Benelli Raffaello World Class Limited Belongs in Your Gun Safe
AAA-Grade Walnut Stock – Class, Comfort, and Control
This shotgun is dressed to impress with hand-selected satin-finish walnut, paired with a beautifully cut checkering pattern that delivers grip without sacrificing elegance. It’s a gun that feels as good in your hands as it looks in your safe.
Italian Engraving – Pure Art on Steel
The full-coverage rose and scroll engravings with gold inlays elevate this from firearm to heirloom. Each gauge features a unique game scene—partridge for the 20GA, mallards and pheasants for the 12GA. It’s detail you don’t see every day.
Benelli Ethos Platform – Proven, Trusted, Ready
Under all that beauty is the powerhouse Ethos system. Fast cycling. Flawless reliability. And that signature Benelli inertia-driven action that serious hunters and sport shooters rely on.
Carbon Fiber Rib – Lightweight Precision
Topping the barrel is a carbon fiber vent rib, giving you quick target acquisition and sleek style. It’s the kind of feature you don’t notice until you do—and then you can’t live without it.
Recoil-Taming Tech – Smooth Shooting, All Day Long
The Progressive Comfort system tames recoil like a dream. Whether you're busting clays or dropping birds, you’ll stay on target and ready for the next shot.
