Waterfowl hunting demands a shotgun that performs in cold, wet, low-light conditions while delivering tight, consistent patterns at range. Field-proven ergonomics, sighting that works at first light, and user-focused controls make the difference between a missed opportunity and a clean, ethical harvest.

BENELLI SUPER BLACK EAGLE 3

Built by Benelli’s Performance Shop specifically for serious waterfowlers, this Semi Auto platform addresses mission-critical details: oversized bolt handle and enlarged bolt release for gloved operation, a HIVIZ CompSight for improved low-light target acquisition, and a lengthened, polished forcing cone for more uniform shot release. The Waterfowl Edition ships with three Rob Roberts Triple Threat choke tubes and is test-fired using computerized pattern analysis to verify even patterns across the cone — a rare quality-control step for factory guns.

Ergonomics and Controls

For cold-weather hunters wearing thick gloves, the oversized bolt handle and the enlarged bolt release drastically reduce fumbling during field reloads. These tactile upgrades are simple but impactful: faster manipulation and fewer lost opportunities when birds present.

Sighting and Patterning

HIVIZ CompSight for Low Light

The added HIVIZ CompSight enhances the sight picture at dawn and dusk, improving alignment without obscuring the target. Combine that with the Performance Shop’s lengthened and polished forcing cone and the included Rob Roberts choke set, and you have a platform engineered for tight, consistent patterns.

Verified Pattern Consistency

Each Waterfowl Edition is test-fired and analyzed with a computerized pattern machine to confirm consistency and even pellet distribution. That quality-control measure translates to greater confidence in the field and predictable terminal performance downrange. View product details and pricing
