Correct Gun Fit a person will just shoot better, cripple game less and thus be more confident on their shots!
I do own a Benelli Super Black Eagle 12 Ga 3.5" and use it for ducks and geese. Shot a few turkeys with it too!
However I do not use 3.5" rounds no more - too expensive and the extra half inch offers no more than using 3 inch rounds.
I did adjust the drop of the comb myself with the supplied shim kit. I had too as I hated this gun and then found out it did not fit me right. So I dropped the comb, went to the IC choke and I am now deadly on waterfowl.
I have beat the crap out of this shotgun. It is camo and does take a licking well!
I like the wt and feel of the gun. I like the fact of the inertia spring and it is almost maintenance free. If I see that closing the bolt is starting to slow down I will clean it. Otherwise I just shoot it.
It has been trouble free once I got the gun to fit this ole body!
So I have nothing negative to say about it at all. Liked it so much I went and spent the bucks on a Benelli R1 308 caliber for deer and have never looked back. Talk about sweet shooting rifles! man.......

Ps ~ as with any shotgun one neds to spend a bit of time on a petterning board to make sure it shoots where you are looking. If it don't shim it or contact a gunsmith to help.
