Overview of the Benelli Nova/SuperNova

Just when everybody thought that the pump action shotgun couldn\'t be improved upon, Benelli introduced the Nova/SuperNova Pump. With a totally unique and imaginative modern design, the Nova/SuperNova pump incorporates a polymer stock and lighter weight pump mechanism into a fantastic quality and climate resistant hunting shotgun. The Nova/SuperNova is the perfect marriage between Italian styling and cutting edge ergonomics. An obvious example of this is the are the unmistakable sections on the single handed grip on the stock and forend of this great innovative shotgun. Normally reserved for ordinary checkering, the Nova gone the extra distance to introduce an imaginative edge in overall handling.



One of the most striking components in the overall operation of this great shotgun is the trigger; it is bold in structure with abundant spacing for the gloved finger of the avid hunter. In order to aid in the ease of loading, the well has also been slightly modified. The shotgun is available in 18,5”, 24”, 26”, and 28 inch barrels, and in 12 gauge and 20 gauge offerings. The total weight of this gun in the 8 pound range, when it’s 4+1 shell capacity is empty.

Incorporated with the Benelli SuperNova forend is an exclusive stippled catch, which the creator portrays as a \"push-catch shell-stop,\" which acts as a sort of magazine cut-off. This implies a cartridge can be removed from the chamber and changed for an alternate round without allowing another to follow in from the magazine. The operation is very straightforward and easy to navigate. Simply push in the bolt discharge lever, arranged behind the gatekeeper, to open the bolt. Then push on the forend catch and as the breech opens completely, a lock is now in place, keeping the arrival of a cartridge from the magazine. Change the cartridge, depress the button and close the action — all last, someone has designed a shotgun that allows the shooter to change out shot shells for a quick “slug” option.



This Benelli Nova/SuperNova chambering rate is made to cycle cartridges from 2-¾ inch to 3-½ inch, as it dependably chambers cartridges of diverse power and length, due to the fact that the cycling is totally reliant on \"arm power\". Interestingly enough, the discharge port is just 3-⅛ inches long, yet will toss out the more extended cartridges without a second thought.



If you are ready to step up to the next generation of hunting or defense pump shotguns, then you are bound to be one of the ever increasing numbers of satisfied Benelli Nova/Super Nova owners.
