Waterfowl hunting puts gear through mud, salt, water and long waits where comfort and reliability determine success. A shotgun that balances repeatable function with field-proven ergonomics gives hunters the edge in marginal conditions and split-second opportunities.

Design and ergonomics built for waterfowling

Engineers invested nearly a decade of development, working with pro-staff and veteran hunters to refine three core priorities: improved ergonomics, intuitive functionality and an updated look and feel for modern waterfowling reliability. The result is a shotgun that feels deliberate at the shoulder and fast to present from a blind or layout position.

Controls that matter in the field

The Super Black Eagle platform on this model features an oversized bolt handle and safety to aid manipulation with gloved hands or in low light. Those tactile upgrades reduce the chance of fumbling and make clearing or cycling easier when conditions are at their worst.

Action, choke selection and barrel length

At the heart of the design is Benelli’s Inertia Driven System semiautomatic action. This inertia system is widely respected for reliability in wet and cold environments because it has fewer parts exposed to fouling than gas systems, and it returns rapid follow-up shots with minimal maintenance. The 28-inch barrel balances pellet pattern density and range for big-field waterfowl shots while keeping swing dynamics manageable from a blind.

Patterning flexibility with Crio-series chokes

This model ships with Benelli’s Crio-series chokes (C, IC, M, IM, F) allowing precise pattern tuning for different shell and pellet combinations. That set covers close decoy work through extended-range steel and lead loads, giving hunters multiple patterning options from a single gun.

MSRP is listed at $1864.99 — a price point that places this shotgun in the premium, mission-focused category for serious waterfowlers who prioritize reliability and thoughtful ergonomics. View product details and pricing on the shop page to confirm current stock and purchase options.

Why experienced hunters choose this platform

Benelli is notable for building semiauto shotguns with durable inertia systems and field-focused ergonomics. The combination of a 28-inch barrel, Crio chokes, enlarged controls and a Realtree Max-7 finish makes this shotgun a purposeful tool for waterfowl seasons where concealment, quick follow-ups and weather tolerance are priorities.
