Benelli Super Black Eagle

About the Benelli

Benelli brothers, owners of the Benelli motorcycle company, embarked on a new journey when they formed Benelli Armi S.p.A. company in 1967. The brothers were passionate hunters as well as fine engineers and with the help of Bruno Civolani, they developed an extraordinary hunting shotgun that used a simple inertia driven mechanism in place of a conventional gas-operated system. This mechanism turned out to be a revolutionary design, as it permitted the user to fire 5 rounds in less than a second, making it the fastest reloading action the world had ever seen. The company was acquired by the Beretta company in 1983. In 2002 they entered the rifle market which demanded the highest levels of mechanical precision and reliability. By the year 2007, 40 years after the company founding, they have already sold more than 2 million shotguns.

Benelli Super Black Eagle Shotgun Review

The 1st generation Benelli Super Black Eagle (often abbreviated to SBE) shotgun was designed and produced in the late 1980s and made available around the year 1990. It was advertised mainly as a waterfowl gun - one meant to be used for hunting ducks and geese, but it turned out that the gun was also appropriate for smaller game, such as squirrels, doves and pheasants. 2nd generation Super Black Eagle followed in 2004, with the 3rd generation being presented in early 2017 and launched soon after.

Current, 3rd generation of Super Black Eagle is available in 61, 66 and 71 cm (24, 26, 28 in) barrel lengths and with both, standard shotgun and pistol grip. It is chambered for 12 and 20 gauge.

Neither of the 3 generations of Super Black Eagle comes with pre-drilled mounting holes on the receiver. A gunsmith has to drill and tap the holes onto the receiver to mount an optical device on these shotguns. The most popular optical devices on these shotguns are red dot sights.

Our recommendation for mounts

We would recommend the users to first install Picatinny rail and then equip that rail with a mount of choice.

Help us build our riflescope mounts database

If you happen to own this or any other rifle, we would appreciate it if you could help us expand our database by sending us some photos of the rifle receiver (the bare mounting surface of the rifle without the mounts installed). For your help, our company offers a fair return in terms of practical rewards

*While this riflescope uses the Pulsar Trail mounting standard, its eye relief differs from that of the devices without the asterisk mark (*) on the list.

As a result, mount producers typically provide different mounting solutions for it.
