I'm not sure why I would expect anything less but I carried my Super Nova for a few hours yesterday pheasant hunting and it was amazing. I was maybe most impressed at my luck flushing 5 roosters (only 2 in range) without a dog. The first one I was so shocked that I just flat out missed, the other I dropped with one shot. My Benelli was extremely easy to carry and very smooth handling. I've always been a Remington man and an 870 Wingmaster is tough to beat, but the Super Nova is a great contender.

Happy Hunting,

Paul

I come from a very loyal Remington family.I was called a communist and a pinko for buying Benelli! I just love how they feel and look.Now if I could just convince them to build a pump rifle based on the R1.......

I completely agree. Not that you're a pinko, that Benelli's look sweet. And I still use my Wingmaster when I can but since it has a fixed choke (full) and MN public lands are requiring non-toxic shot I decided it would be a good reason to buy a Benelli!

There's always a good reason to buy a Benelli,if you think hard enough!Like,for instance, when I told my wife that I was tired of switching between the Steadygrip stock and the field stock,so I needed another one so I could have one of each ready at all times.We won't get into how that one ended;)

It is a tad heavy, but not really worse than any other 12ga I've carried. For a "do it all" shotgun I think it's fantastic.

yeah your right mate. l think its beter than any other gun that other companys make. its just a very powerfull lookin gun. when hunting with my nova feel like lm goin to war not bird shooting:) and yet again no other gun can match is aim. and its so fast that l dont eaven search for a semi auto while huntig. GREAT GUN. enjoy ya time out there. and just show it to the 870 owners thay will be jealus. its 1000 times beter than the 870. the bloody 870 is so ugly it looks 500 years old. eaven my grandpas gun looks better than the 870:)
