Elevate your upland bird hunting and clay shooting experience with the Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 28 Gauge Semi-Automatic Shotgun, a lightweight powerhouse redesigned for seasoned hunters and enthusiasts demanding flawless reliability, soft recoil, and versatile performance in demanding field conditions. This premium 28 gauge shotgun features a 28-inch cryogenically treated Crio barrel with a carbon fiber stepped rib, delivering exceptional pattern uniformity and reduced fouling for consistent accuracy on flushing quail, rising pheasants, or breaking clays—chambered for 2-3/4" and 3" shells to handle light target loads to potent upland magnums while maintaining a sleek, balanced profile at just 5.6 lbs, ideal for all-day carry without fatigue. Finished in a durable black synthetic stock with anodized black receiver and matte black barrel for a stealthy, corrosion-resistant matte black aesthetic that withstands mud, rain, and salt in marshy lowlands or flooded timber, this Benelli SBE 3 excels as a nimble semi-auto shotgun for waterfowlers, upland specialists, and sporting clays shooters seeking a 28 gauge option that outperforms heavier gauges in agility and endurance. Powered by Benelli's legendary Inertia-Driven System, it cycles flawlessly in extreme weather—from sub-zero freezes to humid downpours—without adjustments, surpassing gas-operated systems in cleanliness and speed, with proven durability firing over 500,000 rounds without failure, keeping you focused on the flush rather than malfunctions. Hunters rave about its intuitive ergonomics and soft-shooting nature, noting how the oversized bolt handle, safety, and angled drop lever enable gloved-hand precision in cold, wet scenarios, making it a top choice for bobwhite coveys in the South or ruffed grouse woods in the North.
Redesigned after nearly a decade of pro-staff input from waterfowl guides and upland experts, the Super Black Eagle 3 28 Gauge Shotgun revolutionizes semi-automatic performance with enhanced features like the Easy Loading System's beveled port and two-piece carrier latch for jam-free shell feeding, allowing eyes-up reloads on incoming teal or fast-flying doves. The patented Easy Locking Bolt System ensures seamless operation across all 28 gauge loads, from soft clay targets to heavy tungsten for geese, offering unmatched versatility without compromise. Recoil is tamed by the advanced Comfort Tech 3 stock, incorporating shock-absorbing chevrons that transform the butt into a full recoil pad, slashing felt kick by up to 50%, while the Combtech cheek pad minimizes facial vibrations and impact for comfortable, high-volume shooting. With a modern matte black finish that blends into shadows for stealthy setups, a red-bar front sight for quick acquisition, and user-adjustable shim kit for customized drop and cast, this SBE 3 model combines cutting-edge engineering with field-proven toughness, making it a must-have for hunters pursuing lightweight 28 gauge semi-automatic shotguns for quail, dove, pheasant, or clay sports. As a new addition to the lineup, it earns high praise in reviews for its sub-6-lb portability that feels custom-balanced for swift swings and extended treks, consistently outlasting competitors in harsh environments while delivering buttery-smooth cycling and pinpoint patterns that turn good hunts into legendary ones.
