Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 – The Ultimate Waterfowl Workhorse

The Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 (SBE 3) is the ultimate waterfowl shotgun—brining rugged Italian toughness and cutting-edge innovation. Built to dominate wetlands, marshes, and white-out blinds, the SBE 3 offers unmatched reliability, comfort, and performance shot after shot. Whether it’s ducks and geese, turkeys, or upland birds, this flagship semi-auto shotgun is made to outlast and outperform your toughest hunts.

Benelli’s legendary maintenance-free Inertia‑Driven® system cycles everything from light field shells to heavy 3½” Super Magnums—no gas fouling, no adjustments, and field-proven with over 500,000 rounds on some legacy models.

A refined breech‑closing mechanism ensures consistent lockup and eliminates misfires due to incomplete bolt closure—a problem Benelli tactfully solved from earlier models.

ComForTech 3 stock is designed to reduce recoil and features shock-absorbing chevrons and CombTech rubber-damped cheek pad to dampen kick-even with magnum heavy loads.

Treated cryogenically for extended patterns and longer life, the barrels are matched with longer, knurled choke tubes for reproducible pellet distribution.

Gen 3 features include large bolt handle, large safety, scalloped trigger guard, and a wide loading port—gloved hand-friendly in unfriendly environments.

Tool-free drop/cast adjustability with supplied shims lets you fit the gun to your frame in a hurry—no gunsmith required.

Select SBE 3 models feature Benelli’s proprietary BE.S.T. (Benelli Surface Treatment), a robust PVD/PecVD coating with diamond-like carbon—backed by a 25-year warranty—offering unmatched resistance to rust and abrasion for use in saltwater and swamp conditions.

•Dependable in extreme conditions: Ready for saltwater, rain, ice, or sub-zero temps no hesitation.

•Comfort that matters: Light recoil feels manageable your shoulder stays fresh during long hunts.

• Adjustable to your body: Quadra Fit provides perfect personal adjustment in seconds.

•Ready for heavy loads: Easy Loading and Easy Locking systems allow quick follow-up shots with confidence.

•”Fast-handling, more user-friendly shotgun with less felt recoil”.

•”My family hunts hard… SBE3 works every season, very few issues compared to others”.

•”Red dot on SBE? Game changer—but keep it enclosed for rain”.

Reddit communities show periodic patterning quirks (adjustable via shim kits) and a bit of break-in comments, but most users praise long-term use and Benelli’s great after-sales service.

Not really—Benelli recommends shooting some normal hunting loads to sort out the action and ensure smooth cycling before hard use.

BE.S.T. puts corrosion-resistant coatings on metal parts, ideal for coastal or saltwater hunting and is guaranteed for 25 years.

It prevents bolt binding and misfires due to out-of-battery bolt closure, even when loading slowly or in cold weather.

At ~7 lbs for a 12‑gauge 28″, it divides power and portability—most similar to the 20- or 28‑gauge models, lighter and best suited to upland chores.

Some early runs shot high, but the shim-based QuadraFit system allows for speedy point‑of‑impact adjustment. Most newer units pattern nicely after being fitted.

Benelli Super Black Eagle 3: the ultimate hunting companion: a shotgun that combines tradition and technology to deliver world-class performance where it matters. With comfort recoil, weather-tough durability, tight patterns, and ergonomic accuracy, it’s built to outlast and outshoot—hunt after hunt.
