Benilli Super Nova

[jakep]

What are your opinions on the Benilli Super Nova pump. I'll be using for Ducks, Pheasants, Geese, and Turkeys. I'm currently shooting a 12 gauge Fabarm pump that holds up to 3in shells. I can't decide between the Nova or Super Nova.

I chose the super nova over the standard nova about 4 years ago. I like that it didn't rattle as much as the regular nova.

It's been a good gun for me. I mostly used it for deer with truball slugs.

Had a supernova, hated it, used it for 2 years and got rid of it. Always jammed on me. I do know plenty of people that have them and love them. Only difference is that the supernova stock and reciever are 2 pieces, the nova is one piece.

Thanks for you replies guys.

the super has a larger trigger guard which is was the deciding factor for me because I sometimes hunt with gloves on during those cold hunting days, didnt want fingers getting jammed on the guard on a quick shot going from saftey to trigger in a split second.

I have never had a jam on my nova, the only complaint about it is that it is a bit on the heavy side.

I have two super novas for 5 years now love them both. Never had any issues even crawling through sand stocking geese or using it for a boat paddle. Just clean it like any other gun. Also just to keep an eye on you two take down pins, on my buddys gun one started to fall out all the time and then he replaced it.

I don't own either but was looking at both. The SuperNova had a VERY large trigger gaurd (FAT) and i didn't like the feel of that. It felt hard to hit the safety.

I heard both are great no matter what!

Nova fan here!

Had a super nova over a year now. Haven't shot it yet. Maybe try it this fall.
