Benelli Montefeltro Stock, 20GA, Camouflage

Description

For the hunter or shooter who spends long days in the field, the stock of your shotgun is the primary point of contact between you and the target. The Benelli Montefeltro Stock, 20GA, Camouflage, from Old Arms of Idaho, LLC, offers a direct upgrade for your 20-gauge Montefeltro, providing a durable and functional platform for upland game, waterfowl, and general field use. This replacement stock is built to withstand the rigors of the American outdoors, from the wet marshes of the Chesapeake to the dry brush of the Texas panhandle.

What This Product Is and Who It Is For

This is a factory-style replacement synthetic stock designed specifically for the Benelli Montefeltro 20-gauge shotgun. It is a direct-fit component intended for owners of this specific model who need to replace a damaged stock, prefer a camouflage finish over wood, or want a spare stock for a dedicated hunting setup. This product is for the practical shooter: the upland bird hunter walking miles of CRP grass, the waterfowler setting decoys in a flooded timber hole, and the clay shooter who wants a reliable, weather-resistant platform. It is also suitable for collectors maintaining a complete, functional Benelli Montefeltro, but it is primarily a working part for a working gun. This stock is not designed for tactical or home defense applications; it is built for the field.

Feature Deep-Dive

The primary advantage of this synthetic stock over a traditional walnut stock is its resistance to environmental factors. Wood stocks can warp, swell, or crack when exposed to moisture, temperature changes, and heavy use. The synthetic polymer construction of this stock is impervious to water, meaning you can hunt in rain, snow, or marsh conditions without worrying about the stock swelling and throwing off your point of impact. This material also resists dents and scratches from brush, truck beds, and gun cases, maintaining its functional integrity over many seasons. For the hunter who puts a premium on reliability in wet conditions, this stock offers a clear advantage.

The camouflage finish is not merely cosmetic; it serves a practical purpose for hunters who need to break up the outline of their firearm. The pattern applied to this stock is designed to blend with a variety of natural backgrounds, from autumn leaves to marsh grass. This is particularly useful for waterfowl and turkey hunters who rely on concealment to get within range of their quarry. Unlike a painted finish that can chip or wear off, the camouflage pattern is molded into the synthetic material, providing a durable, long-lasting finish that will not peel or fade with normal field use. This means the stock will look consistent even after years of exposure to sunlight and cleaning solvents.

Weight reduction is another significant feature of this stock. The synthetic material is lighter than the factory walnut stock, which can make a noticeable difference when carrying the shotgun through a long day in the field. A reduction of even a few ounces on the stock can improve the overall balance of the shotgun, making it feel more nimble and quicker to mount. This is particularly beneficial for upland hunters who may be shooting at flushed birds on short notice. The lighter stock also reduces overall carry weight, which can reduce fatigue during extended hikes. The balance shift is subtle but can be calibrated by the user with the addition of weighted shims if desired, though none are included with this stock.

The stock is designed to accept the standard Benelli Montefeltro recoil pad, which is included with this unit. This pad is engineered to reduce felt recoil from 20-gauge loads, making the shotgun more comfortable to shoot over a box of shells at the range or during a high-volume dove hunt. The pad is also textured to prevent the stock from slipping off the shoulder when shouldered in wet or cold conditions. The fit of the stock to the receiver is precise, requiring no additional fitting or gunsmithing for installation on a standard Montefeltro 20-gauge action. The stock retention system uses a single bolt that threads into the receiver, providing a secure and repeatable attachment point.

Durability is a core consideration for any field component. This stock is constructed from a high-impact polymer that can withstand the bumps and knocks common in hunting scenarios. It will not crack from a drop onto a hard surface in cold weather, unlike some older synthetic stocks. The material is also resistant to common solvents and gun oils used for cleaning, so you can maintain your firearm without worrying about damaging the stock finish. For the shooter who uses their Montefeltro as a primary field gun, this stock provides a service life that will likely outlast the original wood, making it a practical replacement for a worn or damaged factory part. The stock also features a textured grip area on the forend and pistol grip, providing a secure hold even with wet or gloved hands.

Ideal Use Cases

• Upland Bird Hunting: The lightweight, weather-resistant design makes this stock a strong choice for walking up pheasants, quail, grouse, and chukar. The camouflage pattern helps you stay concealed in tall grass and brush.
• Waterfowl Hunting: The synthetic material is ideal for duck and goose hunting in wet environments. Rain, mud, and marsh water will not affect the stock’s fit or function.
• Turkey Hunting: The camouflage finish is directly applicable for spring and fall turkey seasons, where concealment is critical for calling birds into range.
• Small Game Hunting: For squirrels, rabbits, and other small game, the stock provides a reliable, no-maintenance platform for a dedicated 20-gauge field gun.
• Range Use / Clay Shooting: While not a competition-specific stock, it is perfectly functional for casual trap, skeet, or sporting clays. The recoil pad helps manage fatigue during extended sessions.

Compatibility Notes

• Ammunition: Compatible with all standard 2.75-inch and 3-inch 20-gauge shotgun shells. The stock does not affect chamber or ammunition compatibility.
• Holsters: Not applicable. This is a shotgun stock; holsters are not used for long guns.
• Magazines: The Benelli Montefeltro 20-gauge uses a tubular magazine under the barrel. This stock does not replace or interact with the magazine tube or its capacity.
• Accessories: This stock is compatible with standard Benelli Montefeltro sling swivel studs (not included). It does not have built-in rails for optics or lights; it is a field-style stock.
• Trigger Group: You will need to transfer the trigger group and stock retaining nut from your original stock to this replacement unit. These are standard Benelli parts.
