“super black eagle”

For 2024, Benelli has expanded into the third generation Super Black Eagle (SBE) series with the SBE3 Compact.

The new HEVI-Metal Xtreme shotshells use a blend of 30 percent tungsten and 70 percent precision steel along with the proven FliteControl Flex wad for a deadly load that is every bit as capable of clean kills as the original.

Many swear off a chukar hunt out West because they don’t want any part of the challenging terrain the birds call home, but there is a method to this upland madness. And if you unlock it, you just may find yourself hooked on the “devil bird.”

As part of Benelli's ongoing partnerships with wildlife conservation groups to help save wild habitat and expand wildlife populations, the company has begun work with the California Waterfowl Association (CWA) to raise funds for the organization's new and existing conservation initiatives.

SAAMI has announced the acceptance of a new shotshell and rimfire cartridge for standardization: three-inch 28-gauge and .21 Sharp.

Thanks to technological advancements in ammunition, the 20-gauge is now nearly as capable as a 12-gauge. It wasn’t always that way, however, nor was it always viewed in a positive light.

For 2023, Benelli has broadened the SBE 3 line by adding two new models in 28-gauge.

The Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 20-Gauge is our 2022 Shotgun of the Year. 

Benelli USA has added several color options to its Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 lineup, including new Cerakote and camo combinations for their 28-inch barrel shotguns with 12- and 20-gauge three-inch chambers.
