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.
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.
