I actually prefer a hunting shotgun that throws slightly high. Many shotguns do not shoot exactly to point of aim, to be sure. The Benelli Nova Comfortech stock has far less flex, does little for recoil attenuation, but also does not create point of impact issues. As a result of the close to instant collapse of the stock gap, the patterns throw excessively high, over the heads of turkeys, potentially crippling ducks with only the lowermost portion of the pattern. The unintended consequence of this is not taking the extra flex and more rapid stock gap collapse into consideration when machining the receiver. I can readily feel the difference with 1-1/8 ounce target loads. The SBE3 stock has far more flex than previous Comfortech versions and consequently is more comfortable to shoot. Benelli says, "The chevron size and location has been optimized on Comfort Tech 3." For the SBE3, the Benelli brand of Beretta has the Comfortech 3. The later generation of Comfortech stocks, the Comfortech II, offered more flex (as installed in my M2) and did a far better job of managing recoil. The original Comfortech stocks were fairly rigid, however, and did not do much. Inventor Luciano Burigana had the collapsing gap in his "stock for firearms" which later was sold as the Comfortech stock. What is going on? Well, the Benelli patent published on Octooffers the explanation. I have more comments like this I could quote, but you get the point. To make a long story short, I sent it back and they said the gun is fine, within their parameters." I called Benelli and they said they are made to shoot like that. At a measured 35 yards, half of the pattern was at the top of the paper the other half over the paper. I was using a 34x34 inch piece of paper with a three inch bullseye. I have shot all kinds of shotguns and several Benelli's. I took it to a pattern board and it was shooting way high. Shot at him a couple of times and couldn't see where the BB's are hitting. Finally, I had to shoot at a cripple on the water. The first time I took it out, it seemed to fringe hit the ducks. SBE3 Owner: "I bought an SBE3 about a month ago. This is kinda ridiculous if you ask me, I used the stock extended Mod, a jebs choke and a Carlson Cremator mid range. I thought it'd be a little high, but most loads I shot were high with only 2-6 pellets at the POA.

Next week I am going to shoot it with the Full choke and see what it does at 20 yards. SBE3 Owner: "I went out and patterned my SBE3 today and it shoots 100% high. The worst part though is my gun is also shooting a foot high with I would say a 95/5 pattern at best."
For one disappointed in the factory chokes, which has almost become accepted these days even in a close to $2000 gun, makes you wonder if the big B's get a kick back from aftermarket chokes to send a gun out with such terrible chokes.
SBE3 Owner: "Patterned mine this afternoon with six different types of ammo out of the factory Imp.Cyl. I asked him what if you shoot different guns, do I relearn every time? If this is the new Benelli's, I guess I am through with them." One of the guys at Benelli said once he learned to shoot his like this, no problem.
Try shooting a gun that patterns like this at a turkey head! Where do you aim at each distance? Maybe I have a bad one, but just wanted to let you know what you may get. They threw on a bigger bead and said I can put this on to help it shoot lower on the water, etc. I had three other people try it and all shot the same. SBE3 Owner: "When aiming, it should hit at that spot, not over a foot high. The Design Defect of the Benelli Super Black Eagle 3īenelli SBE3 shotguns at the 2017 SHOT Show.
