Benelli announced its over-under shotgun, the 828U, at the 2015 SHOT Show, but American Rifleman's Brian Sheetz was treated to an early look at the gun during a 2014 South Dakota upland bird hunt. You can learn what makes this over-under different than any others on the market by reading his complete review here, and watch the shotgun in use on the range in the video above, as the 828U is our latest NRA Gun of the Week.
