This Benelli is built for gobblers. The Performance Shop SBE3 Turkey is a 12 gauge with a 24 inch barrel, a three-round capacity and a Mossy Oak Bottomland-style camouflage finish, and it is tuned for turkey hunters.

Benelli's inertia-driven action is quick to cycle and tolerates mud and rain. A 24 inch barrel gives a shorter swing in the turkey woods, where you sit still against a tree and take your shot at a close range. Turkey guns need tight patterns, so expect to try a few loads and chokes before you find the one that works. Spend an afternoon at the range before the season so you know exactly where it shoots. Wipe it down after wet weather and store it dry, because North Carolina humidity is hard on steel.

The Performance Shop touch usually means refined fit and finish. For spring hunts in the mountains and the Piedmont, a gun that stays quiet and dependable matters more than a few extra rounds.

Pattern it at forty yards before opening day, then hunt with confidence. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer, where the background check is completed.
