I picked up a new Benelli ETHOS last week, and I was wondering if any of you guys shoot one, and what you think of it...
I don't have the new Ethos model but have been shooting the SuperVinci for several years and absolutely love the inertia recoil system!!!! Absolutely the best handling and lightning fast follow up shots ....You won't be disappointed.
I would highly recommend anyone thinking of purchasing one to go ahead and sell every shotgun stashed away in your closet/;Safe..and spend the Bucks!! Shooting the light skeet loads through is like a kick from your 22lr rifle!

Okie,
I have never shot a Beretta A400, but this ETHOS has less felt recoil than the new Browning A-5, Beretta A300 or Franchi Intensity...
I would say my 12 ga. ETHOS is comparable in recoil to my gas operated 20 ga. Weatherby SA-08, which has the softest recoil of any gun I have shot...

I picked up a new Benelli ETHOS a couple of weeks ago, and finally got out today to run a few rounds through it...
Thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my new Benelli, and keep a running tab on this particular gun, so I hope you don't mind the pictures and round count along the way...
Benalli ETHOS / 12 ga. / 26" barrel
This gun came with a set of shims to allow the user to be able to adjust cast and drop at heel. I'm left handed, so I took full advantage of the available adjustments...
The gun also came with a couple of extra replacement sights in different colors...
The magazine plug that came with the gun, was an 8 1/4" aluminum rod. One thing that I did with the rod since taking this picture, was that I turned down 2" of the rod to a slightly smaller diameter, so I could use it as a make shift push rod, to punch out the trigger pin...
It takes less than 20 seconds to completely strip this gun down for cleaning...
After adjusting the stock for a perfect fit for ME, and cleaning the bore and action, I grabbed a couple of boxes shells, my automatic pigeon thrower, and headed out to the back of my property...
300 rounds later, I had NO bruise on my shoulder, shot my first 25 straight, and then shot my first 100 straight! This is the first gun I have owned, that after a few adjustments, fit me perfectly, and it made all the difference in the world...
Performance wise, I had absolute "0" issues with this gun! Of course I only shot 1 1/8 oz. loads. Felt recoil was very mild, with more of a soft push, instead of a sharp ***, like what I experience with other guns. This is easily becoming my new favorite gun...
