This means that for the same caliber and length, a larger diameter barrel (therefore with a greater mass) will fire better than one with a smaller diameter because it is more rigid and with a more regular vibratory rate; furthermore, the barrel of greater mass will heat up more slowly and consequently will not suffer or suffer less from the negative effects of overheating in the event of particularly intense use cycles.

For Argo E Fluted, Benelli did not limit itself to opting for a “normal” rod in which to practice a certain number of grooves. There cane fluted made in Urbino is the result of a specific design and a more complex production process. It could have been done simply by grooving the Compact / Battue barrel, thus moving back the center of gravity. However, such a solution would have resulted in minimum sections not conforming to the high safety standards that characterize Benelli products and the gain in terms of speed of climbing to the shoulder would have been of little significance and in any case would not have “compensated” for the greater wheelie.

Argo E Fluted is also equipped with Comfortech system for the reduction of recoil and wheelie, factors that make it possible to reduce the split times between shots, a feature also appreciated on a compact semiautomatic rifle like this one. The reduction of split times and ease of use are important values ​​for Benelli: with the Argo E Fluted an 18,5 "barrel guarantees a center of gravity almost overlapping that of the Argo E with a 20" barrel, therefore a more advanced value than to that of Argo And Battue e Argo E Compact. In fact, while the barrels of the same length of the last two weigh 900 grams, that of the Fluted weighs 981, exactly 36 grams more than the 20 "barrel, which however has a muzzle diameter of 15,9 mm, substantially superimposable to the 16 mm of Battue and Compact, but less than 17,5 mm of Fluted.

The barrel of the Argo E Fluted it is more rigid and heats up more slowly than those of the Argo E in the range; the accuracy of the shot is less affected by the variation of the ammunition. Argo E Fluted is a semi-automatic that can also be used off the beaten track, either to engage the occasional "far" prey, or for selection hunting. This “ambitious” compact rifle is only offered in .30/06 e .308 Winchester, which are not affected by the reduction in length of the rods with which they are used.

This model is equipped with new generation 4-shot magazines, characterized in the front third by the presence of an internal septum that guides the neck of the cartridges so that they are “rigidly” aligned in their two columns. The magazines are two-wire with alternating presentation like the previous ones and with these they maintain the most complete interchangeability.

Benelli Argo E Fluted it is equipped with a comfortech stock with Air Cell recoil pad that can be changed quickly and without tools; the rifle is fitted with a special short (15 mm) polyurethane buttplate, the medium (25 mm) and long (35 mm) ones can be purchased separately. The Air Cell recoil pad is anatomic and is also available for left-handed people in low and medium sizes.
