Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 BE.S.T. 12-ga 3-1/2" 28" Synthetic Black 3+1 Semi-Auto Shotgun

Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 BE.S.T. 12GA 28" Black Synthetic Semi-Auto Shotgun | 12102

The Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 BE.S.T. 12102 is a 12-gauge semi-automatic waterfowl shotgun built for hunters who spend serious time in wet, cold, and corrosive environments. This configuration combines a 28-inch barrel, 3½-inch chamber, 3+1 capacity, black synthetic furniture, Benelli's Inertia Driven operating system, and BE.S.T. surface treatment on key metal components.

The SBE 3 platform has long been one of Benelli's flagship waterfowl guns, and the 12102 adds enhanced corrosion protection to an already proven hunting configuration. For hunters who regularly deal with saltwater, rain, mud, flooded timber, or late-season weather, the BE.S.T. treatment is one of the most practical upgrades available on the platform.

Benelli BE.S.T. Surface Treatment

The 12102 uses Benelli's BE.S.T. surface treatment on key components including the barrel, barrel extension, bolt, bolt handle, safety button, carrier latch button, and other exposed parts.

BE.S.T., or Benelli Surface Treatment, is engineered to provide increased resistance to rust, corrosion, and abrasion. Benelli backs BE.S.T.-treated barrels and covered components with a 25-year limited warranty against rust and corrosion.

Benelli Inertia Driven System

The Super Black Eagle 3 uses Benelli's Inertia Driven operating system. Instead of redirecting propellant gases into the action, the system uses recoil energy to cycle the shotgun.

This helps keep combustion residue away from the operating components and reduces the amount of fouling that reaches the action. For hunters who put a shotgun through long days in the blind, that simpler and cleaner-running design is one of the SBE 3's biggest advantages.

3½" Magnum Chamber

The 12102 is chambered for 2¾-inch, 3-inch, and 3½-inch 12-gauge shells. That gives the shotgun broad ammunition flexibility, from standard field loads to heavy magnum waterfowl ammunition.

For hunters who want one shotgun capable of handling a wide range of waterfowl and field loads, the 3½-inch chamber keeps the platform versatile without requiring a separate magnum shotgun.

28" Barrel & Crio Choke System

The 28-inch barrel gives the SBE 3 a smooth swing and familiar balance for passing birds, open-water hunting, and other field applications.

This configuration includes Crio flush chokes in Cylinder, Improved Modified, and Full, along with Crio extended chokes in Improved Cylinder and Modified. That gives hunters a broad selection of constrictions for matching the shotgun to different loads, ranges, and hunting conditions.

Easy-Locking Bolt System

The Super Black Eagle 3 incorporates Benelli's Easy-Locking Bolt System, designed to help the rotating bolt head lock securely into battery even when the action is closed more gently than normal.

That can be particularly useful in the field when quietly checking or closing the action without wanting to force the bolt forward.

Oversized Controls

The SBE 3 features enlarged controls that are easier to locate and operate while wearing gloves or working in cold, wet conditions.

For a dedicated waterfowl shotgun, these larger controls are a practical detail that can make loading and operation easier when conditions are less than ideal.

Red-Bar Front Sight

A red-bar front sight gives the shooter a bright, easy-to-acquire visual reference without cluttering the sight picture when tracking moving birds.

Combined with the 28-inch barrel and balanced SBE 3 platform, the sight setup keeps the shotgun fast and intuitive in the field.
