Probably a marketing thing. They get the best of both worlds. It will sell with the benelli name but they wont fix it when there is a problem, because it is not a benelli.
Can anyone tell me about the quality of the Diamond Auto shotgun that is built by Benelli exclusivly for Dicks sporting goods. The sales guy says it is just a small step below the super eagle. I already have the Stoger 2000 and know there is a huge diference.
