Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 B.E.S.T. 20 Gauge 28" Barrel 3" Chamber Shotgun in Black Finish

Elevate your pursuit of upland birds, waterfowl, and versatile field shooting with the Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 BE.S.T. 20 Gauge Semi-Automatic Shotgun, a lightweight powerhouse engineered for discerning hunters who refuse to compromise on reliability, speed, or durability in the harshest environments. This premium 20 gauge shotgun features a 28-inch cryogenically treated Crio barrel fortified with Benelli's revolutionary BE.S.T. (Benelli Surface Treatment) coating—a multi-layered diamond-like carbon armor that shields against rust, corrosion, and abrasions, enduring three months of saltwater exposure without a trace of damage, far outlasting competitors that fail in just 48 hours. Chambered for efficient 2-3/4" and 3" shells, it delivers magnum-level performance on ducks, turkeys, pheasants, and clays with reduced recoil compared to larger gauges, all while tipping the scales at a mere 5.9 lbs for effortless carry and swift swings during all-day hunts. The sleek Black Synthetic stock and anodized black receiver provide a tactical, no-nonsense finish that's as tough as it is understated, making this Benelli SBE 3 BE.S.T. model the go-to semi-auto shotgun for waterfowlers, upland enthusiasts, and competitive shooters seeking a nimble, corrosion-proof companion that performs flawlessly from flooded timber to dove fields.

Born from a decade of rigorous field testing and pro-hunter feedback in Urbino, Italy, the Super Black Eagle 3 BE.S.T. reimagines semi-automatic shotgun innovation with enhanced ergonomics, intuitive functionality, and BE.S.T.-protected components that promise lifelong endurance under mud, rain, or coastal spray. At its heart is Benelli's legendary Inertia-Driven System, which cycles shells with unmatched speed and cleanliness—no gas residue, no adjustments needed—handling everything from light target loads to heavy 3" waterfowl ammunition over 500,000 rounds without a hitch, ensuring you're always ready for the next flush or long-range shot. Reviewers praise its buttery-smooth operation and balanced feel, noting how the 20 gauge SBE 3 swings like a dream for quick follow-ups on flushing birds, while the Comfort Tech 3 stock transforms recoil into manageable energy through shock-absorbing chevrons, paired with the Combtech cheek pad that virtually eliminates facial slap and vibrations for fatigue-free sessions. Oversized controls—including the bolt handle, safety, and angled drop lever—offer gloved-hand precision in freezing dawns or slick conditions, and the Easy Loading System's beveled port with two-piece carrier latch feeds shells jam-free, keeping your eyes on airborne targets. The patented Easy Locking Bolt System adapts seamlessly to any load, from upland dove to turkey thunderers, while the included shim kit allows custom drop and cast adjustments for perfect point-of-impact alignment. Backed by an industry-leading 25-year warranty on BE.S.T.-treated parts, this 20 gauge Benelli shotgun isn't just built to last—it's designed to dominate seasons of hard use, earning rave reviews for its light, nimble handling that outperforms heavier 12 gauges without sacrificing lethality or versatility.

Surface Treatment: Proprietary diamond-like carbon multi-layer coating on barrel, bolt, trigger, safety, choke, bolt handle, sling stud, trigger pin, and barrel extension creates impenetrable rust- and corrosion-proof armor, surviving prolonged saltwater exposure; backed by a 25-year warranty for ultimate confidence in wet, salty conditions.
