    Depends on what you are doing. If for clay - definitely the supersport in 30".They are fantastic shotguns. Just my opinion.

      They are very different shotguns, what do you plan to do with them?

      For shooting clay targets at the range, the Supersport is a good choice. It is good looking (in my opinion) and will cycle light loads up to 1oz 1180fps birdshots. The bolt is also blazing fast, you won't feel the bolt move at all because it moves at very high speed. The factory extended chokes makes it easy to identify what you have on the shotgun and you can easily swap them if required.

      I use a Supersport 12 gauge with 28" barrel for trap shooting.

      The Super Black Eagle is better if you hunt, with 3.5" chamber, you'll be able to use shells that make you feel like you're launching something into low orbit. The dull non-reflective design also makes it a better choice than the Supersport to avoid alerting birds and another animals. I have heard reports of the SBE requiring slightly hotter loads but I believe you can swap out the recoil spring for a lighter one if you plan to use it for clay shooting using low recoil loads.

        I've shot both while hunting in Mexico - I prefer the SBE. I prefer hunting guns over trap/skeet guns because I do more hunting than trap/skeet shooting. If I only shot clays, I'd go with an over and under.

          Neither. A Montefeltro. Oh...for upland bird hunting. Maybe an M2

          Different guns for different specialties.

            It's all about the fit......shoulder both with eyes closed and see which one lines up better. If you have to adjust the butt in your shoulder try another gun.

              super black eagle would be my vote. its like the m2 but can handle 3.5inch shells and i think its a little cheaper which is always a plus. also you can add the nordic extension tube.

                      M4 (just throwing it out there, I have no clue as to what your intended use is)

                          I'm a sporting clay guy and I don't hunt, so I'd go with the SS instead of the SBE.

                            super sport I believe comes with a shim kit to adjust drop and comb.

                              Yes it does- although, a friend of mine did not get the shim kit in his package when he bought his.
