For the serious waterfowler, a shotgun must balance weight, reliability, and ergonomics to perform in the harshest conditions. A lightweight 20-gauge that accepts full-power loads while remaining shoulder-friendly can extend a day in the marsh and improve follow-up speed when the moment counts.
BENELLI SUPER BLACK EAGLE 3 is the full redesign of Benelli’s venerable Super Black Eagle platform. Developed with nearly a decade of input from pro-staff and veteran hunters, the SBE 3 focuses on improved ergonomics, intuitive, flawless functionality and an updated design that delivers all-weather performance and reliability in a true 20-gauge platform. Chambered to accept up to 3″ shells and weighing just 5.8 lbs, it’s offered in Black Synthetic, Mossy Oak Bottomland, Realtree Max-5 and GORE OPTIFADE Waterfowl Timber finishes — choices that match your environment and mission.

Design and ergonomics that matter in the field
The SBE 3’s redesign prioritizes shooter interface: a refined stock geometry for consistent cheek weld, balanced weight distribution for swings on fast-flying birds, and controls placed for instinctive operation. At 5.8 lbs, the shotgun reduces fatigue over long retrieves and multiple retrieves, while still accepting 3″ shells for hard-hitting payloads when needed. These elements make it a strong option for hunters who demand agility without sacrificing terminal performance.
Why a 20-gauge fits modern waterfowling
A true 20-gauge platform offers reduced recoil versus heavier gauges, quicker target reacquisition and effective performance on most duck and goose loads when paired with quality ammunition. The BENELLI SUPER BLACK EAGLE 3 lets you run 3″ loads for extended range and energy delivery while keeping overall handling light and nimble.
