FlagUS SuperNova

I'm still looking at buying a new shotgun. I'm leaning towards the Benelli SuperNova. Anyone has any input on this shotgun.
Thanks

I love mine. Treat it like poo and it never fails me. Everything from dove loads to 3 1/2s. That comfort tech stock really makes a difference! SuperNova is definitely a good choice!

I have the Nova and SBE II, comfort tech stock is where it's at so I would have no problem getting one if I was in the pump market. I really do like my Nova as well and it seems to kick less than my 870 Wingmaster and shoots 3 1/2"s.

I have a Nova and a SBE II. Won the Nova at a DU event. The nova is a good gun that can take a beating but I find it heavy.

Treat my super nova pretty bad, and it's had it's flaws, but that's expected.
But aside from that, great gun

I've dropped mine in the drink, in the mud, melted the forend on a muffler, and I forgot it in the boat at the camp for over a week. It's been cleaned once a year since I got it, and I have yet to have any failures with it. The forend rattle gets annoying and I can't seem to hit anything with it, but it is a tank for sure.

I use mine as a power poll extender when hunting season is closed.

I bought a nova (not supernova) about 13 years ago. Never failed on me ever. I have dropped it into the water at least twice that I can remember. It just works. Like Latravcha said tho, its a lil heavy, and a lil clunky, but it takes a lickin and keeps on tickin

I have the super nova as my back up gun. I have a benelli vinci as my main gun so I never have any reason to use my Nova but I do still use it a few times a year just to shoot it.

Placed an order today, 60 -90 days backorder wait according to the folks at the local gun shop, wanted to give locals the business. Gonna start a search on this board as I remember someone talking about what loads to use in the PDA mode, for buckshot with powder volume to minimize recoil for follow ups in case the ratcheting of chambering a shell, and the first shot don't get it done.
