Benelli Super Black Eagle (SBE) 12GA - The Revolutionary Waterfowl Autoloader, Made in Italy

Description:
The legendary, original Benelli Super Black Eagle, the shotgun that revolutionized waterfowl hunting.

This firearm is from a well-cared-for private collection and is in excellent used condition.

Mechanically, the shotgun is 100% sound and has been completely reliable.

This is a fantastic opportunity to own one of the most iconic and respected hunting shotguns in the world, renowned for its absolute reliability, light weight, and soft-recoiling operation. This particular firearm was forged and proof-tested in Benelli's Urbino, Italy facility in 1995 (Date Code "BF"), a testament to its quality and craftsmanship.

A Legacy of Innovation: Before the Super Black Eagle, a reliable semi-automatic shotgun that could handle the potent 3.5" 12-gauge shell was the stuff of dreams. The SBE was a game-changer, establishing a new standard for performance and versatility in the hunting world. Its immediate success and subsequent legendary status are a testament to its superior design, flawless function, and the genius of the Inertia Driven system. Owning an original, Italian-made SBE is owning a piece of modern firearms history.
Key Features & Design: The genius of the Benelli Super Black Eagle lies in its design, which has been proven in the harshest hunting conditions for decades:

• Inertia Driven® System: The heart of the Benelli. This elegant and simple operating system uses the recoil of the shell itself to cycle the action. With no messy gas pistons, it runs cleaner, cooler, and more reliably than virtually any other action, while also contributing to the shotgun's light weight.
• The Original 3.5" Chamber: The SBE was the first semi-auto to reliably cycle everything from 2 ¾" light field loads to 3" magnum and 3.5" magnum shells without any adjustments, providing ultimate versatility for any game or situation.
• Superb Balance and Handling: Known for its light weight and slim profile, the SBE shoulders quickly and points naturally. The clean lines and ergonomic design make it comfortable to carry all day and instinctively easy to shoot well.
• Italian Craftsmanship: From the quality of the steel to the fit and finish, the "Made in Italy" stamp signifies a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that has made Benelli a world leader in premium shotguns.

This is a perfect shotgun for serious waterfowl and turkey hunters, or for anyone wanting a proven, high-performance shotgun that represents the pinnacle of semi-automatic design.
