What is the difference between the Benelli SBE 2 and SBE 3?

Only you can decide if the SBE III is worth trading in your SBE II. One of the biggest differences between the two is the change to the bolt. It allows the III’s bolt to go back into battery and lock up under light pressure. Otherwise it’s some minor changes and mostly aesthetics.

Is the Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 worth it?

The SBE3 is quite possibly the quickest, most nimble waterfowl gun I’ve ever tested. It fit and balanced exceedingly well, and was on point about as quick as a top-end upland gun, easily handling light target loads as fast as I could pull the trigger.

What is the best Benelli shotgun for waterfowl?

Super Black Eagle 3
Waterfowlers: Super Black Eagle 3 Considered by many to be the best waterfowl shotgun available, the Super Black Eagle 3 features an updated design for unparalleled modern performance. The Inertia-Driven® system reliably cycles shells from light loads to heavy magnums and requires no adjustments.

How many shells does a SBE2 hold?

I recently purchased a new SBE II Adv Max 4. The specs show that the factory mag tube capacity is 3 + 1. With 2.75″ shells, I can only put in 2 + 1.

When did the SBE2 come out?

Much of that went into the SBE2, which was introduced in 2003. “We still believe today that the Inertia Driven system is the best operating system on the planet,” Thompson said.

Is the Benelli SBE II a reliable gun?

The SBE II also proved to be completely reliable, even with 1 ounce loads. While the official Benelli line is 1200 fps, 1-1/8 ounce loads at a minimum, many SBEs can handle lighter loads with no hiccups and that was the case with our test gun. The SBE-II’s ability to cycle a wide range of loads was better than promised by Benelli.

What kind of gun is the Benelli Super Black Eagle?

For two decades, the Super Black Eagle has been Benelli’s flagship semi-auto. As the first autoloader chambered for 3½-inch 12-gauge magnums, the original SBE and updated SBE II have been perennial mainstays in marshes and goose pits for over a generation.

What kind of stock does the Benelli Super Vinci use?

The SBE II has the standard, recoil-absorbing ComforTech stock, while the Super Vinci has a ComforTech Plus stock. Both feature 12 recoil-absorbing chevrons, but the ComforTech Plus chevrons are larger.

What’s the difference between Benelli Supernova and SBE?

It makes no sense to us and just gets in the way. In the case of the SBE, the red bar front sight at the muzzle is fairly small, a great deal smaller than found on the Benelli SuperNova recently reviewed and also a bit smaller than the bar found on the Vinci.
