Benelli introduced it’s Super Black Eagle 3 shotgun now finished with its proprietary BE.S.T. (Benelli Surface Treatment), which is a firearm finishing technology developed by engineers and scientists at the gunmaker’s manufacturing headquarters in Urbino, Italy.
The coating protects steel with a tough and impenetrable armor that stops rust and corrosion—very important for waterfowlers and any other hunters who are in regular contact with water and saltwater in the field.

How It Works
Diamond-like carbon particles are used to create a multi-layered surface coating that protects against the elements and abrasions. It creates a barrier that protects against rust and corrosion created by moisture – even saltwater.
The BE.S.T. coating is currently available on two models of the Super Black Eagle 3 and two models of the ETHOS shotgun.
