Unsurpassed Strength & Reliability. Benelli is an Italian firearms manufacturer located in Urbino, Italy and is world famous for producing high quality hunting, military and law enforcement shotguns. At the heart of the Benelli Nova is completely unique and innovative technology that incorporates a lightweight internal steel receiver with an overmolded polymer frame-- yielding a single unit with unsurpassed strength and reliability.

Due to its polymer coated receiver, along with proprietary coatings on the action and barrel, the Benelli SuperNova is considered impervious to the elements. This makes the design second to none and one of the most versatile pump action shotguns ever made.

In fact, the Benelli Nova was the first pump designed from the ground up as a true 3.5" magnum. The others once started out as 2.75" shotguns that were later scaled up to accept 3" shells, and then finally converted to 3.5" shells-- exposing major design weaknesses in the transition to the more powerful cartridges.

The primary difference between the Benelli Nova and Benelli SuperNova is buttstock function and design. Where the Nova has a one- piece overmolded polymer frame and stock, the SuperNova is a two- piece system and utilizes the low recoil ComforTech stock, which is divided into 24- shock absorbing chevrons arranged diagonally from the heel of the buttstock, to just behind the pistol grip.

This synthetic stock is designed so the exterior shell flexes outward to further dampen recoil up to 48% over the competition. Equally impressive, recovery time is improved up to 69% over other designs. An ultra soft gel pad helps to further buffer felt recoil. The ComforTech comb pad cushions the cheek during recoil, and provides a slick surface that allows your cheek to slide along the comb during recoil. This eliminates frictional resistance and insulates your face from shock and vibration.

Ridge style checkering is molded into the synthetic stock and forend to provide a solid grip, wet or dry. It also provides a superior gripping surface in all weather without being overly rough to the ungloved hand. Benelli's Quadra Fit drop and cast stock shim kit allows the shooter to custom fit the gun to their personal dimensions.

Italian styling and high-tech ergonomics not only give the gun a pleasing appearance, but make it a delight to shoulder and fire. The bolt rides smoothly on dual action bars that prevent the forearm from excessively wobbling or binding. These incredibly long action bars allow the shotgun to reliably feed 3.5" magnums all the way down to 2.75" shells, while also providing an extended contour forend that successfully accommodates a wide range of arm lengths and hand sizes.

The Benelli SuperNova has a fast cycling pump, especially when chambering magnum shells, plays no small part in rapidly hitting targets with second and third shots. Rotary locking lugs provide vault- like, tight steel-to-steel lockup by engaging recesses inside the barrel extension, while the receiver remains relatively unstressed as the gun is fired.

The 28" hammer-forged barrel is exceptionally well made and has a high quality Fleurs de Lys proofed steel that is then chrome lined, which provides two major advantages. The first is to ensure that the internal barrel dimensions are perfectly concentric, which greatly enhances accuracy. The second is to add strength for handling steel shot and magnum loads.

The chrome-lined barrel is then proof-tested to a pressure of 19,571 psi. This is 40% greater than the maximum pressure of 3.5" magnum shotshells, so it provides an ample margin of safety. Three interchangeable flush fit chokes are also included with the package-- IC, M and F. The SuperNova tips the scales at 8.0 pounds unloaded.

A shell stop button located underneath the forend provides the shooter with a high degree of versatility. In situations where a hunter wants to safely pack- up and transport the shotgun from one location to the next, by engaging the shell stop button, the cartridge can painlessly be removed from the chamber without having another round dropping down from of the magazine tube. This is extremely useful, especially after hunting in freezing conditions where your fingers have gone numb.

Another advantage is when a shooter needs to rapidly switch over to a different load. For instance, in a situation where the hunter downs a duck with 3" shells, only to discover the bird is wounded and swimming off. Before it has a chance to get airborne again, the shooter can push the stop, eject the empty shell, reach into their jacket pocket and quickly drop a 3-1/2" magnum into the chamber.

An enlarged trigger guard accommodates gloves, where the trigger group features a user friendly, dual push-pin removal for cleaning. A stealth- like, matte black finish minimizes detection from waterfowl and other game animals. Though it may not provide the ability to completely disappear like Benelli's advanced camo patterns, the neutral black finish is perhaps even more versatile because it's not specific to certain types of foliage, and blends reasonably well in all geographical regions.

The raised rib barrel features a mid bead with red bar front sight that's visible and gets on target quickly. The Benelli SuperNova has a rounded crossbolt safety button that is located forward of the trigger, next to the action bar release lever, and provides the most secure and natural place to keep one's trigger finger. It's easy to maintain an outstretched trigger finger along the action, where a singular downward motion will depress the safety button and puts you in direct contact with the trigger almost instantly.

When the safety is located at the rear of the trigger guard, the shooter must move their finger backward to the button, and then forward again to the trigger, which is downright unnatural and inefficient. Or even worse, keep a constant crook in your finger so it�s just above the button, which is uncomfortable. For warranty or repair, the shotgun is backed by a rock solid 10 year manufacturers warranty. Overall, the Benelli SuperNova is a versatile, dependable, accurate and powerful shotgun that you can rely on every time.
