The Benelli Super Nova

[@MrGurosa]

Ive had 3 benellis. Thinking about one more now.. I can totally agree, they really are great guns.

[@thebiggeezer1471]

Totally agree as well, I have two Benellis, including one of these. Cracking video Nick.

[@johnconklin5180]

Great gun. Bought one 3 months ago. Smooth, well made and shoots where I point it. It’s a keeper.

[@jessejohannsen1977]

Found a used but still like new Supernova in my LGS for an amazing price. Came with the box, chokes and the kit to adjust the drop and everything. Only thing wrong with it is a small scuff on the barrel. Absolutely love it looking forward to using it this duck and goose season.

I live in America. I took a three day defensive shotgun class with my Remington 870. It kept locking up and wouldn't cycle the action to eject the spent shells when it got hot. I got fed up with it and at the end of that particular drill, I went up to the pro shop during the break and bought a Benelli Super-Nova Tactical with rifle sights. What a fantastic shotgun. Worlds ahead of my 870. The button on the bottom of the fore grip is a magazine bypass that allows for easier slug select drills. The trigger guard is shaped in such a way to allow dual loading of the mad-tube. You put the gun on its back and push the lifter down. It isn't spring loaded, so it stays down. You stack two shells in the loading port which extends to the front of the trigger guard. With your thumb, you push both shells into the mag tube. By loading the chamber first and dual loading the mag tube, you can go from an empty gun to fully loaded with a 4+1 capacity in seconds.

[@olegk455]

What size shells allow for 4+1 loading on it? I purchased some 2 3/4 snap caps to practice and only two fit in the tube plus one in the chamber. And I am going to practice loading the chamber first like you mentioned.

[@flip97gt]

@@olegk455 2-3/4 should in most cases get you 4+1. The SNT will probably go down to 3+1 if you load 3 or 3.5 inch shells in the tube.

If you live in Canada you're limited to 3 shells.

[@andersonz8117]

The action is soooooo smooth.

[@lomparti]

Ive got the 14" self defense version with ghost ring sights. Best feature is the extended forend that slides over the loading port. Also you forgot to mention the chrome lined bore. You can pretty much neglect this gun all the time and itll never rust.

Thanks for a great review Nick! I've been using mine on many hunts here in Sweden. Also favour the 26" barrel. For a while I fell for the urge to try a over-under, only to find it not aligning the two shots correctly, alas back to the supernova. :-) A pump compared to an over-under: as easy to make safe, as reliable, but with only one barrel=no uneasieness of worrying about the barrel alignement.

[@bruce6341]

Excellent stuff. Look forward to seeing more from you

[@nickhorten97]

Thank you very much. Something as simple as a gun review to camera is much harder than it looks! Next time we'll try something a bit more exciting.

[@vincenash1358]

Excellent video thank you !

[@jlowe1986]

I just got a nova for clay shooting. Haven't tried it yet but like the feel more than the 590 I have.

[@jamesadams1357]

Love my supernova. Dammed fine review my friend

[@baba-hx5td]

Enjoyed your wildfowling videos with tgs hope you do a few more of them

[@patman7421]

Great review, You are spot on

[@danp6755]

Thanks Nick, I’ve always enjoyed your cameo’s with TGS- I’ll look forward to seeing more here, subscribed 👍

First class review

[@ibrahim00117]

john kramer ?

[@1badEK]

Can you shave down the groves to smooth it out a bit and make the grip area thinner? Or would you risk going through the plastic stock if you shave the groves down a bit.

[@John_Redcorn_]

The receiver isnt actually polymer. Its steel with a polymer overmould

[@ethanlareau2731]

Thank you! Good point.

[@Synistercrayon]

I just have a pain ol nova. For the price point, it can't be beat

[@paganpoetprophet6441]

Good video

[@Mark-wx1ho]

Can a red dot sight be fitted to this? Thanks.

[@jking823]

Hi Nick, I recently purchased a Supernova and have since watched your video. I was surprised when inspecting the barrels that they do not bear the Fleur de lys mark. I would have thought that a gun like this would be made to use high performance steel cartridges. Do you use them in yours?

[@churchether]

Did you figure out the deal with that? Can it handle steel and other high performance cartridges?

[@jking823]

@@churchether I have put a few HP steel cartridges through it, but only a handful so hard to say.

[@jeffreese4194]

Is the action smoother than Ithaca 37?

[@JB-wr2lx]

No

[@mhrfarms]

Can the barrel be changed to a tactical or vies versa?

[@Hogheadsforbreakfast]

I was considering buying a supernova but I just came back in the house from shooting one that I borrowed from a friend and I wasn't impressed at all. I was expecting to fall in love but for a gun to weigh that much and still kick so hard is ridiculous. My Mossberg 500 with a synthetic stock handles 3" buckshot loads way better. All of this "talk" about light recoil is b.s. It definitely swings and throws well but not the fine Italian shotgun that it's made out to be. I ran #8 dove loads, 2 3/4" #4's, 2 3/4" buckshot and 3" buckshot through it and now I know why the guy said "You should shoot one before you buy one."

[@williamvigil2951]

Ok sorry I don't think it's ever outsold mossberg or remington. I've seen alot of shotguns in my life. Never ran across anyone with a benelli supernova. I'm sure it's a great gun.

[@MrJerry160]

this is most certainly not the best selling pump action in America. Where are you getting your statistics? Its probably the Maverick 88 from mossberg

[@sidneymooremoore9507]

I own a 88 Mossberg and it's a great and l mean great shotgun .

[@John_Redcorn_]

Id say its either the 500 or 590 (one could lump these together) or the 870. Its certainly not the Super Nova. Love benelli but mossberg and remington are king in the pump action world as far as total sales

I couldnt make up my mind of this benelli pump or the mossberg 500 so i got the 500,,,,, cause im not a fan of the way the stock looks on the benelli… those line’s stripes look
