When the hunting is exceptional but the weather is unforgiving, you need a semi-auto that performs reliably, reduces felt recoil, and patterns consistently across a variety of loads. This rifle-grade expectation is exactly what many field shooters and waterfowlers demand from a modern workhorse shotgun.

BENELLI SBE3 delivers on that expectation. Built with a durable Cerakote finish that resists glare, water, and corrosion, the SBE3 is engineered around Benelli’s Inertia Driven System for proven reliability in adverse conditions. Comfort and shooter recovery are addressed with ComforTech 3 recoil reduction technology, while Crio(R) System barrels produce tighter, more consistent patterns. The revolutionary Benelli Advanced Impact barrel system enhances terminal performance on game, making each shot more effective. The SBE3 sits in the Semi Auto category, is available in Various models, and is competitively priced at $2358.99. Shop this product

Field Performance: Reliability and Recoil Management

The Inertia Driven System is simple, robust, and less prone to fouling than gas systems — ideal for wet fields and cold mornings. That translates to fewer malfunctions and more time on target. ComforTech 3 softens recoil without compromise to balance, which matters on long days afield and when you need rapid follow-up shots.

Barrel Technology and Patterning

Crio(R) System barrels are cryogenically treated to stabilize steel and reduce variances in shot cup and choke alignment. Shooters report noticeably tighter patterns and improved downrange pellet density; this is amplified by the Advanced Impact barrel system, designed to maximize terminal energy for ethical harvests.

Durability and Finish

The Cerakote finish on the SBE3 reduces surface glare, sheds water, and resists corrosion from salt and marsh environments. For hunters who push gear through seasons, that protective layer preserves function and resale value.
