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.

I've looked into this gun before. It's actually a Franchi. I emailed Benelli CS and they confirmed that all manufacturing and parts are from Franchi. They said it is simply an I-12 modified to 3.5". It seemed like a nice gun, but look at the Franchi and immediately look at the SBE2 and you'll see a huge quality difference. Nicer price point than the SBE2, but there is good reason to pay more.

Thanks for clearning it up, scSBE.

I thought the Diamond models were Franchi, but you never know when something new hits the shelves at Dick's.

 

Yes, the 912 does not a SBEII make.

Read through the Franchi section for information on 912's.

I haven't seen a lot of satisfied customers.
