Key Specifications 

• Model: SE122 
• Gauge: 12 GA 
• Action: Semi-Automatic 
• Capacity: 4+1 rounds 
• Barrel Length: 28 inches 
• Weight: 11 lbs. 
• Finish: Brown (Turkish Walnut) 
   

Features 

The 28" barrel is back-bored to .740" and chrome-lined. Back-boring reduces friction on the shot column, and chrome lining extends barrel life and simplifies cleaning. The five-choke system gives you meaningful flexibility, from cylinder for close-range work up to full for tighter patterns at distance. 
 
The aluminum alloy receiver keeps weight down relative to an all-steel receiver. The steel action bar handles the cycling forces. The all-metal trigger assembly has a clean pull. Fiber optic front sight picks up quickly in low light. 
 
At 11 lbs. this is a heavy shotgun. That weight does absorb recoil effectively, but it is worth knowing if you will carry it for extended periods in the field. 
 

Usage 

• Clay target sports (trap, skeet) where the 28" barrel and choke selection are well matched 
• Hunting upland birds, waterfowl, or small game with choke-swapped for the target 
• Home defense as a semi-auto option, though the 11 lb. weight is a practical consideration

The Silver Eagle SE122 with Turkish walnut stock and 28" barrel gets broadly positive feedback, with the weight being the most consistent practical concern.

The walnut stock is the first thing most owners mention. It looks good and feels solid. Build quality overall is well-regarded; the gun does not feel cheap in hand. The semi-auto action is described as smooth and reliable with standard loads.

Accuracy and recoil management track together in owner accounts. The 28" barrel gives the pattern time to develop, and the 11 lb. weight absorbs recoil effectively. Shooters who have used lighter shotguns notice the difference favorably in felt recoil during longer sessions.

The flip side of that weight is obvious to anyone who carries a shotgun through brush or long days at a walk-up shoot. At 11 lbs. it is heavy for a field gun, and several owners note this as a downside they wish they had considered before buying.

A small number of users mention a break-in period before the action settled into reliable cycling. This is common with gas-operated semi-autos and generally resolves with 50-100 rounds.

Overall the SE122 has a solid reputation for looks, build quality, and recoil absorption, better suited to station-based shooting like trap or range work than to carrying through the field all day.
