ACCOKEEK, MARYLAND -- Benelli USA is pleased to announce the release of a special new turkey shotgun-the Benelli Performance Shop SBE II Turkey Edition. The Super Black Eagle II, already one of the greatest semi-automatic shotguns with fast, deadly field performance, now becomes the ultimate turkey gun with Performance Shop enhancements designed by Rob Roberts of Gobbler Guns, world renowned for his shotgun pattern development. These finely crafted turkey guns have been fitted with features that provide excellent handling characteristics and enhanced performance. This ultra-reliable Inertia Driven® semi-auto shotgun guarantees tight uniform patterns at long range with reduced felt recoil and fast handling reliability.

Benelli's Performance Shop Turkey Edition Crio® barrel features a lengthened and polished forcing cone that not only provides consistently uniform patterns, but also lessens felt recoil and prevents wad build-up for cleaner shooting barrels. Performance Shop barrels are ported with holes that are burned with electrical charges, rather than drilled, to prevent burring and stresses to the barrel. These ported holes are angled to redirect gases for recoil reduction and to control muzzle climb for quick follow-up shots.

The Performance Shop Turkey Edition comes with a ComforTech® stock and also includes an accessory SteadyGrip® buttstock. A Burris FastFire II™ sight has been fitted to each gun and sighted-in, and includes custom computer print outs that show actual points-of-impact and the number of pellets in 10-, 20-, and 30-inch circles. For bringing a boss gobbler to bag when range is an issue you need the ultimate turkey gun-Benelli's Performance Shop Turkey Edition is the one.

"No other gunmaker goes to these lengths to give turkey hunters a combination of gun, choke, sight and ammunition testing," said Stephen McKelvain, Benelli's VP of Marketing & Communications. "that guarantees this is the finest turkey-killing shotgun on the market."
