The Benelli Super Black Eagle III is a 20 gauge semi-automatic shotgun chambered for 3-inch shells, at home on a duck blind or a sporting clays course. The Mossy Oak Bottomland camo finish covers both the stock and receiver, providing concealment in wooded and wetland terrain. At 5.9 lbs. with a 28-inch barrel, it handles quickly without feeling flimsy.

Features 

• Comfort Tech 3 recoil reduction system built into the stock, which noticeably softens the felt impulse during extended shooting sessions.

• Inertia-driven action cycles reliably across a wide range of load velocities, from light target loads to heavy waterfowl loads.

Owners of the Super Black Eagle III 20 GA generally come away satisfied, particularly those who put serious hours on the gun during waterfowl and upland seasons. The lightweight build is a consistent positive. Carrying 5.9 lbs. through a full day of walking makes a difference, and the inertia action gets credit for cycling cleanly across different loads.

The Comfort Tech 3 stock draws frequent mention; most shooters find it meaningfully reduces fatigue when running a lot of shells. The Mossy Oak Bottomland finish looks right in the field, though a handful of users note the finish on high-wear areas can show scratches over time.

Price is the main sticking point. The SBE3 sits at the top of the market, and some buyers question whether the premium over mid-tier semi-autos is justified. Those who've shot both tend to think it is; those comparing specs on paper are less sure. Either way, shooters who buy one generally keep it.
