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 SuperNova Tactical is completely unique and innovative technology that incorporates a lightweight internal steel receiver with an overmolded polymer frame and buttstock-- yielding a single unit with unsurpassed strength and reliability. Due to its polymer coated receiver and stock, along with proprietary coatings on the action and barrel, the Benelli SuperNova Tactical is considered impervious to the elements.

Molded with a rounded contour that slightly swells near the back of the receiver, the polymer shell resists the corrosion, dents and scratches that have a habit of leaving their mark on hardworking pump guns. This makes the design second to none and one of the most versatile pump action shotguns ever made. In fact, the Benelli Nova is 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 Tactical and SuperNova Tactical is buttstock function and design. Where the Nova Tactical has a one- piece overmolded polymer frame and stock, the SuperNova Tactical 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. Distinctive grooves on the pistol grip and forend-- in place of conventional checkering-- provide a positive grip surface that complements the innovative features of the SuperNova Tactical.

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 accomodates a wide range of arm lengths and hand sizes.

The SuperNova Tactical's 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 18.5" 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. The shotgun has a fixed cylinder bore choke and weighs in at 7.6 pounds unloaded.

A shell stop button located underneath the forend provides the shooter with a high degree of versatility. In situations where you would wants to safely store the shotgun with an empty chamber but still be capable of loading rounds from the tube in an emergency, by engaging the shell stop button, the cartridge can painlessly be removed from the barrel without having another round dropping down from of the magazine tube.

Another advantage is when a shooter needs to rapidly switch over to a different load. For instance, in a situation where the shooter has the Nova Tactical loaded with 2-3/4" 00-Buck but would like to drop a slug into the chamber for longer range accuracy, simply push the stop, eject the current shell, reach into your pocket and quickly drop in a Federal 1- ounce Hydra-Shok into the chamber. In addition, the gun is rated for shells up to 3-1/2" magnum buckshot for taking down bears, hogs, crackheads or other dangerous wild animals.

A large trigger guard accommodates gloves, where the trigger group features a user friendly, dual push-pin removal for cleaning. A stealth- like, matte black finish provides maximum concealment in tactical situations. The rifle sights are designed for you so you can transition from the hand gun to the shotgun with the same sighting system and the rear sight is the about the same distance from the eye as the rear sight of a handgun, while providing the same type of sight presentation to the target.

The SuperNova Tactical's rounded crossbolt safety button 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 service or repair, the shotgun is backed by a rock solid 10 year manufacturers warranty. Overall, the Benelli SuperNova Tactical is a convenient, versatile, dependable, accurate and powerful self- defense shotgun that you can rely on every time.
