Benelli Montefeltro for Dove hunting?

Hey Everyone!

I am currently using a Benelli Supernova for dove hunting and really like it. I have come into some giftcards and looking at getting a Benelli Montefeltro. Has anyone used this for dove hunting? I am also somewhat looking at the Remington V3.

Does anyone have an issue shooting a shotgun with a stepped rib to a flat rib? Thanks everyone!

as long as you can look right down the rib and not see any rib, just beads. It should be a GREAT dove gun. It probably comes with shims to adjust stock.

or buy my Super Black Eagle II

I have a Legacy 20 gauge and I love mine. As far as I can tell it's not any different than the Montefeltro.

For strictly dove or quail hunting I like the Montefeltro. If heavier loads are in the mix such as for duck I'll take a V3.

I have both, hunt dove and ducks with both. The nova is a good duck gun, the montefeltro smokes dove though.

I have a 20ga montefeltro dove, quail. pheasant, chucker, ducks, turkey, squirrel, rabbits... it doesn't matter to it no partiality to what it likes to shoot. Very good gun IMO.

I use mine all the time. The rib is a little different than on most of my guns, but it's never been an issue. Doves or clays, it make no difference - I aim, the gun goes bang, and the bird falls (well, most of the time).

Thanks everyone. I went ahead and purchased the montefeltro in a wood stock.

Next stop is the sporting clay range! Y'all have a great weekend!

You won't regret it.

My Montefeltro Silver 20 Gauge is my go to dove gun. You should be very happy with your purchase!

Pretty nice guns. Lightweight too.

Can't get much better in my opinion. Most of the Argentine outfitters use the Montefeltro and shoot tens of thousands of rounds thru em. A very good gun. Simple to clean too. Lightweight. I have and love the 26" gun.

I'm going to be using one this year.
