Rarely, maybe never, has one gun introduced as many new technologies as the Benelli Super Black Eagle II. The proven inertia-recoil system, with its unmatched ability to digest different ammunition types, is unchanged. Just about everything else is different. The new ComforTech™ system reduces recoil up to 48% over the competition, without adding any moving parts or weight. Compared to competitive brands the Benelli weighs 13 to 15% less — on average, thats more than a pound less!The ComforTech™ system also reduces muzzle climb by 15%. For fast follow-up shots, this allows the shooter to get back on target up to 69% faster than the competition. The Crio™ barrel is frozen to -300° F which relieves stresses left over from hammer-forging. The result? The barrel moves consistently, shot after shot. It also produces a smoother bore that stays cleaner and offers less resistance to the wad and shot. A new buttpad made of a shock-absorbing gel, originally developed for the medical industry, works with the ComforTech™ system to soak up recoil. Benelli engineers used extensive computer modeling to create an ergonomic design so refined that left- and right-handers have entirely different recoil pads. A new corrosion resistant recoil spring and guide remain free of rust and ride in a new recoil tube that is easily cleaned by removing the quick-detachable recoil pad. The Super Black Eagle II proves it — perfection can be improved.
