The 2025 edition of SHOT Show saw Benelli showcase the Super Black Eagle 3 Advanced Impact semi-automatic shotgun, a new upgrade to the Italian company's flagship line of waterfowl shotguns.

Offering signature features of the Benelli shotgun line like the Easy Locking Bolt System for better compatibility with all loads, the ComforTech 3 recoil-absorbing buttstock and the Company's own cryogenically-treated Crio System barrels, the new Super Black Eagle 3 variants also offer the Advanced Impact barrel system for improved group density and up to 50-percent more penetration on target.

All the Super Black Eagle 3 A.I. shotguns feature a 28-inch barrel with a ventilated rib and a fiber-optic front sight, and a 3-rounds magazine tube with the possibility to house a fourth shell in chamber. Calibers available are 12-gauge – with chambers up to, and including, 3.½" – and new for 2025, 20 gauge with a 3" barrel.

The polymer stock and handguard are available in Realtree MAX-7 or Mossy Oak Bottomland camo, with a flat dark earth or Patriot brown Cerakote finish on the barrel and receiver. MSRP for the US market is set at $2,849 for 12-gauge and $2,599 for 20-gauge.
