Most semi-auto shotguns are built right-handed, so lefties often put up with shells thrown at their face. The Benelli SBE2 is built left-handed, a 12 gauge with a 26" barrel, a three-round capacity, and a black synthetic stock.

Benelli's inertia-driven action is a well-known design for being clean and reliable in cold, wet weather. The SBE name has long been tied to waterfowl, and the black synthetic stock suits duck blinds along the North Carolina coast, where wind and spray are constant. Take a young or new shooter along and teach safe handling before the first shot.

A 26" barrel gives a smooth swing on passing birds and also works for dove and clay birds. It balances nicely, and a left-hand model puts the controls where your off hand can reach them without awkward moves.

This is a premium gun priced like one, aimed at hunters who shoot often and want a shotgun that lasts.

Clean it after hard use and it should give you decades of service. Listed new. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer for pickup and the background check.
