Benelli Black Eagle
« on: February 22, 2023, 09:27:42 PM »
This gun is a rare bird. The Black Eagle was briefly produced prior to the Super Black Eagle and is only a 3" gun not a 3 1/2" magnum. It also predates that Montefeltro Super 90's and is essentially a hybrid of sorts between that and the Super Black Eagle. I sourced this gun as incomplete, but it was only missing the barrel. Luckily, I was also able to source an old stock factory original replacement still brand new in box with three factory chokes in a 21" barrel. For a turkey gun I was ecstatic about how it all came together.

Great find. I only ever saw one of those guns. I bought my SBE the first year they came out in the mid 90’s I believe? it has a Walnut stock, looks just like your gun. That 21 inch barrel is another rare find, I’ve never seen one. I love those Benelli’s, the action of the bolt is about the smoothest you will find…..fantastic pick-up….good luck with it……

Awesome gun... congrats ... I have one of the early Mi Super 90 with the regular stock and pistol grip stocks with a 24 inch barrel ... Like new in the hard case...  i have the red dot attachment that goes between the stock and receiver and several different chokes for the gun...  But it's a safe gun, because it's 12 ga.. and i'm all about the smaller gauges with today's better turkey loads
