Benelli Balck Eagle II

HoosierBoy
I am considering purchasing a Benelli Black Eagle II. I would use it mostly for goose and duck, but maybe the occasional turkey. My question to the board is twofold:

1. What is the difference between the Black Eagle and the Black Eagle II and is the price difference worth it?

2. Is there an alternative out there that you would suggest?

Thanks in advance!

    www.benneliusa.com. nothing compares to the II. don't know if you need a high $$ duck gun. i don't need one but i have one. this will be the first year. hope to shoot it a lot. good luck.

    I WOULD RATHER BE DUCK HUNTING.

    I have the original Black eagle Competition model as well as the Legacy model. There may be some "supposed" upgrades in the II,..but I highly doubt they could improve what has proven to be one of the finest firearms ever made. Mine survived well over 5000rnds in 3 days in Argentina with NO CLEANING. Never missed a beat.

    If you are considering a Black Eagle benelli,..you have made a wise decision,..no matter which model it is. Enjoy your new toy,..it is one of the best available.[8][8D]

    why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....
    Got Balistics?

    I have shot a number of ducks and other creatures with my Super 90. It would be a less expensive route to take unless you need to shoot a 3 1/2". But I wouldn't buy anything other than a Benelli auto.

    I bought my Super Black Eagle in '94 and have shot it a lot in the past decade. I loved it so much that I have since sold every other 12 gauge I owned. The main difference between the series 1 and the series II is the second series uses cyrogenic barrels and also the recoil-reducing gels in the stock.
    I will wait a while to see if the recoil-absorbing material gets hard over time and loses its effectiveness.
    When I bought my Benelli I lived in S.E. Kansas and hardly any gun shops in that area had even heard of one. I found out about them in the Gun Traders Guide; it mentioned a semi-auto that could shoot everything from 2 3/4" to 3.5" mags without adjustment. I drove over an hour just to hold one and I walked out with it and haven't regretted it for a second... I doubt you will either - no matter which version you choose.
