Benelli’s Super Black Eagle 3 is heralded around the world as the most advanced, most rugged, and most dependable hunting shotgun ever developed. Now, Benelli takes the proven SBE3 platform to even greater heights with the integration of the new Advanced Impact (A.I.) barrel and choke system.

Advanced Impact is the latest in a long list of technological innovations by Benelli engineers to enhance shotgun performance and shooting comfort. The A.I. system is comprised of an innovative barrel bore contour coupled with Benelli’s new Advanced Impact CRIO® chokes. Combined, the A.I. barrel and choke deliver a payload downrange with greater velocity and energy than standard shotgun barrels up to 50% greater on-target penetration. What’s more, the unique design of the barrel and choke enhances pellet density and promotes more uniform spread. This means the shot not only hits harder and penetrates deeper, but also puts more pellets on the target.

Four new SBE3 models featuring the Benelli A.I. system are offered for 2025.

The Super Black Eagle 3 A.I. comes in 12-gauge (3 1/2-inch) or 20-gauge (3-inch) chambers with 28-inch barrels and GORE™ OPTIFADE Timber camo. The gray anodized receiver compliments the gray Benelli Surface Treatment (BE.S.T.) barrel finish, providing industry-leading protection from rust and corrosion. Read more

Since its introduction, Franchi’s Affinity 3 and Affinity 3.5 semi-auto shotguns have served as steady companions in duck blinds, upland fields, and competitive venues across the country and around the world. For 2025, Franchi proudly unveils the next generation of this sporting arm as the brand’s first all-new semi-auto platform in over a decade.

The new-generation Affinity 3 and 3.5 semi-auto Inertia Driven® shotguns are constructed around a fresh stock design that not only highlights the brand’s Italian artistry DNA but also boosts ergonomics for faster, more positive handling in all shooting conditions. A thinner forend with increased checkering offers a better hold and snappier swings. This concept extends to the grip, where the checkering is distributed higher and farther back on the grip to enhance control.

Aesthetics have not been overlooked in the new stock design. Clean lines flow gracefully from the grip, across the receiver, and into the forend, creating a visual continuity that reflects the shotgun’s exquisite ergonomics and precision construction. This design is also supported by a new trigger guard that subtly blends with the overall profile. Read more

As of Jan. 17, the Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation, joined by Safari Club International and the National Rifle Association, filed a lawsuit against the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the agency’s arbitrary closure of the near entirety of the Sonoran Desert National Monument to recreational shooting. In a June 2024 agency action, BLM closed 99% (over 480,000 acres) to recreational target shooting – a drastic and arbitrary change for the monument which was previously 90% open to recreational shooting.

“BLM has conveniently forgotten its multiple-use mandate, which includes recreational shooting on BLM lands,” said Dr. Todd Adkins, Senior Vice President at the Sportsmen’s Alliance. “In fact, 99% of all BLM land nationwide is open to recreational shooting. Yet, BLM caved to a sue-and-settle scheme on the Sonoran Desert National Monument then badly justified its 180-degree shift in this rulemaking.”

A 2018 resource management plan for the Sonoran Desert National Monument found that recreational shooting was a compatible activity on 90% of the monument. That plan was challenged by radical preservationist groups, and BLM settled, agreeing to potentially amend the plan while considering the groups’ proposed alternatives. BLM began the scoping process in 2022, and in 2024, they proposed a new resource management plan that adopted the preservationists’ alternatives and then some. This plan was finalized in June 2024.
