I' ve owned 2 Benellis. The one I had for 3 1/2 years of nearly flawless operation, as long as I kept it clean. The only reason I traded it was to get a camo finish on the 2nd. It' s an M1/Super 90, 3 in. chamber. I thought of the Black Eagle 3 1/2 in., but I don' t need it for the bigger ammunition. I guess if I shot mainly for geese I might want the 3 1/2.
Nearly everytime I shoot sporting clays in our league, one of my friends wants to shoot it, too.
It' s just a fine, well-built all around firearm. imo.
