    Unhappy Supernova (field) black

    I just purchased this gun for Turkey hunting. I thought it would come with drilled & tapped holes for a scope mount, but to my surprise there are no holes to mount a scope, is this correct or will I need to send it back to Benelli to have them drill & tap it for weaver scope mounts? My SBE II came with scope mount holes.

    This may seem like a silly reply, but why would you put a scope on a shotgun?? Your range is pretty limited distance wise and you should be able to hit a turkey with one shot and no scope!

    all supernovas are tapped! novas are not are you sure you have a supernova; also it should have like 4 lil holes above the reciever where you pop out little plastic plugs and put a rail on it then you mount your scope! let us know whats up

    My Super Nova Realtree APG isn't tapped.

    The Benelli Web Site says that only the Supernova with the 24" rifled slug barrel has the receiver tapped for scope mounting. The Supernova field w/ 26" barrel that I had wasn't tapped.

    That's what I thought. I know the tactical models are tapped as well as the slug guns but not the field models.

    Someone in another forum suggest these rails. I just order this, I guess you can mount whatever you want on your gun.
