Benelli Supernova Gone Wild

[griegojesse]

perfect set up

[1136tscc]

That is an awesome set up. Good for you! I aspire to have similar all purpose force multiplayer! Just nice

[gritloyal]

@1136tscc thanks for the kind words...best wishes.

[joeyrobledo]

What choke tube do you use when shooting rifled slugs?

[gritloyal]

@joeyrobledo I use an improved cylinder for both slugs and buckshot.

[bttruman]

Just picked one up today! Great video! I'll bee looking around for some accessories similar to your's!

[gritloyal]

@bttruman Hope you enjoy it...good luck.

[commiesarelame]

Fuck you gun control liberals!

[gritloyal]

@commiesarelame Correct.

[Privat3Kag3]

Any issues with the TLR-1 yet?

[FiveTwoSevenTHR]

@Privat3Kag3 I have one on the gun I'm wearing now, I don't have any issues with it and I love it.

[gritloyal]

@Privat3Kag3 the TLR-1 has been a champ! No issues, and a lot of light for your dollar.

[waimanjr]

Your set-up looks to me if you wanted a home defense weapon rather than hunting.

[jasLBJ23]

the holographic site... just... why?

[MrVnz75]

BREDA IS BETTER THAN BENELLI

[jasLBJ23]

@MrVnz75 LMAO

@jasLBJ23 CHE CAZZO STAI DICENDO COGLIONE ?! SUICIDAL TENDENCIES

[jasLBJ23]

@MrVnz75 i could ask you the same question. what do yours mean?

[MrVnz75]

@jasLBJ23 i say breda is better than benelli...

[StraightOutOfBordom]

How much was the whole rail system and halographic sight?

[htmlrulezd00d11]

nooo! D: why invest so much money on optics when you have a such beautiful ribbed barrel? i'd kill to have a sight picture like from my hunting guns on my tactical shotgun. cool looking gun in all though.

[italianrelic]

thats just a little overboard for a great italian gun! shoulda just picked up a tactical version and made it tacticool

[yetidudekiteboy]

Hi just wondering how you attached the "mesa tact pic./shell holder?

cheers James

[gritloyal]

@yetidudekiteboy I had to have my gun drilled/tapped at a gunshop so that it would receive the shell holder. At that point, it will just screw on (althought it is wise to use a bit of Loctite on the screws to ensure that they don't back out under recoil).  I believe that newer models of the Supernova come drilled/tapped from the factory. Happy shooting!!!

[benner2000]

@gritloyal Only Tactical and Rifled models come drilled and tapped.

[gritloyal]

@martinezdot129 good, robust spring assembly...no feeding problems so far.

[smlemk42]

can't wait to mod mine... although unlikely get that eoTech holo on mine.

[jerryboy219]

That's ridiculous! BUT SEXY!

[amaya1000rr]

Did you have to modify the mag tube in order to install the mag extension? I know on a Remington 870 you have to remove two dimples in the mag tube to install a extension & doing so would void the warranty. Just curious if I would have to do the same on a Benelli Nova/Supernova. I'm thinking of getting a nova with 24" barrel & want to add a 5 shot nordic mag tube extension.

[ajohnson]

Where did you get the +5 extension? Will it fit the benelli M1?

[gritloyal]

@ajohnson I got it from Briley...they have several different models. You'll have to check on the M1

[CRDJs]

@ajohnson Looking for the right mount for the TLR-1 light to the briley extension. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[gritloyal]

@CRDJs The tube seen here came from Briley with a pic rail already on it...I'd call Briley and ask if there are any after-market mounting options.

[CRDJs]

Looking for the right mount for the TLR-1 light to the briley extension. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[tacticalshotgunner12]

That is frikken awesome. Now I need an eotec for mine

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

How much was that tube extention and where did you get it and is there a limit tube you can get for it when you are hunting game that calls for a limit? I have the same gun except I have a 28" barrel. It is badass, I am in love with the thing.

[gritloyal]

@DEACONAP4LOVE $145 from Briley. Capacity maximums vary from state to state, so check w/ your state's wildlife dept to find yours. Good luck.

[TurretHunter]

I know this might be a stupid question, but why most shooters insert the shotgun shells in the shotgun holsters with the primer side pointing downwards? Why not the other way so it doesn't slip out? I ask because I really don't know.

[gritloyal]

@TurretHunter For reloading purposes, it is easy to flip the gun over, pull the spare shells from the holder, and insert them into the loading port of the shotgun. This is made easier if the shells are upside-down in the shellholder...good question. Also, the shellholder grips the shells in such a way that they could never "slip out"...I thought the same thing the first time I saw it, but I can assure you, they are very secure...even under heavy recoil.

[TurretHunter]

@gritloyal I see. One of the reasons I asked is because I have seen a few videos of other firearm users that have complained of slippery solid holsters. But those holsters are mainly clamp holsters, which tend to open up after firing and the shell slips out (looked low quality). Your explanation is very accurate. By fear of dropping the shells, I put the shells on my elastic holsters brass side up and were difficult to reload. Turned them around and all was good. Thanks for the info.

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

blowing up pigs huh.......awesome

[bigbammy1]

is the mesa tactical rail on your gun the same on as the m2, or m4 and m1014??

i dont know wich one fits my nova great video

[amaya1000rr]

Sweet Setup ! ! ! I had the same idea in mind (as far as adding a mag tube extension) and was wondering what size extension to purchase. A 5 shot extension seems ideal. Don't know if I could justify adding an eotech sight, but to each his own. Great Job Bro.

[MrK4G3]

Mind giving me some info on that sight? I've not seen any like that at the gunshops around these parts. Did you order it online? How much was it? Connected via weaver rail? I would appreciate the help, thanks!

[gritloyal]

@MrK4G3 It's an EOTech 512 Holographic Red Dot. I bought it online for around $400. It sits on a Mesa Tactical picatinny rail/shell holder. Good luck.

[MrK4G3]

@gritloyal Thanks for getting back to me, what I meant was if it "could" be connected via weaver. I know that you can put on weaver based accessories on a Picatinny but not the other way around. But never mind, $400 is a little too much for a shotgun sight. It still looks pretty damn sexy tho. I guess if I ever wanted to burn $400, I'd spend it on this. :)

[fuseal1]

Even though this has the ComforTech, the additional ounces of the extra shells up front will dampen the recoil even more....good choice...smart too.

[CHOSENMARINE]

in canada that's SUPER elligal

[gritloyal]

@CHOSENMARINE 'sorry to hear that friend.

[HollowForm222]

Looks like an ass-kicker! Benelli's ROCK!

[RunninCummins]

May god help the man that breaks into your house

[2CLAYBOB]

tex grebner blocked me because i told him he is a fat punk that knows nothing of what he whines about and he blocked me. i have never heard such stupid punk crap as hjs.

[om3gadagg3r]

@2CLAYBOB its ok, he has shit for brains.

[CryptWarrior69]

hey i just ordered a super nova 28 inch smoothbore for trap and hunting, i was wondering it comes with rails on the top? if not how would u install them, cause im kinda interested in red dot sight or holographic, some helpful advice will be nice! thanks

[gritloyal]

@CryptWarrior69 The newer Supernova's should come from the factory drilled & tapped. Mine was not, and I had to have a gunsmith do that for around $40. Then, all you have to do is find a rail you like with or without a shell-holder on it...Mesa tactical makes a good one...and a red dot. Good luck

[Xixxen]

@CryptWarrior69 Look into a Speed Bead set up for your supernova... Google Image- Burris+ Benelli +Sight - for a look. Great for keeping bead on target regardless of sighting eye position or head alignment. And it mounts most wickedly.

[EESASTORM]

You should be shooting USPSA shotgun matches with that rig.

[gritloyal]

@EESASTORM Good idea...thanks

[EESASTORM]

@gritloyal

I am headed down to the United States next Tuesday for the Pan Am shotgun championships.

three ws panamericanshotgun then a dot org

There are plenty of slots left if you are any where near Kentucky.

[gritloyal]

@EESASTORM That's a kind offer. If I was anywhere near KY, I would take you up on that. Unfortunately, I live out west. Good luck at Pan Ams.

[gritloyal]

@Onimusha584

9 + 1

[kennedylca13]

How much did you pay for your Eotech? Im thinking about one for my tactical 870.

[gritloyal]

@kennedylca13 I paid around $350 for it on Ebay (Poorfish's store I believe)...you should be able to pick it up easily for less than $400.

'should work well on the 870 tactical...good luck.

[kennedylca13]

@gritloyal Thanks man for the help

[iranianboy123]

Zombie killer?

[gritloyal]

@iranianboy123 exactly.

[85psych323]

do you know of any good thermal sightd for the nova?

[gritloyal]

@85psych323 thermal sights are very high, but you could go look around at Optics Planet...the have as good a selection as anyone.

[tbsdrummer87]

Hey can you recommend me a not too expensive sight for my supernova? Red dot preferably because holos are expensive

[gritloyal]

@tbsdrummer87 Midway USA should have a bunch of decent red dots under $100...you could browse there, then google shop to find the best deal. Good luck.

[brownspartan390]

wow you are my hero, now i know what it would look like if i decided to make my supernova tactical..thanks

[wingslayer53]

9 rounds? dang dude thats crazy but beast

[Blown4banger]

Awesome gun. I just got a Supernova tactical. I plan on keeping the factory 4+1 setup, to keep weight down, the only other thing I'd like to get, is a flashlight to mount on the barrel in front of the magazine tube. Great gun.

[jubbles2343]

personally I find optics on a shotgun slows my rate of fire down way to much to be worth the increased accuracy

[ikonik69]

GritLoyal, What is the difference between Nova and Super Nova.

[NVRLONF]

wayyyyyyyy too long for a tactical build

[gritloyal]

wayyyyyyy too heavy, as well.

However, its primary purpose is blowing up herds of swine...which it does with raw efficiency.

[tacticoolness]

the one I just ordered is a EOTECH 552 Clone will see how it works? it was only 119.00

[tacticoolness]

I am thinking of getting an EOTECH for my Mossberg but I heard that there a pain to zero in?

[gritloyal]

I had no issues. After eye-balling it, I had it zeroed in about 5 shots. EOTech makes a great product...5 months later + dozens of 12-gauge rounds = still zeroed. Good luck.

[italianguns]

how did u attach the holosight on your supernova?? Can I do the same with my left-handed m2?

[gritloyal]

I had the gun drilled/tapped so that it would accept the Mesa Tactical rail. That is what the optic sits on. I believe your M2 comes pre-drilled from the factory...so you would definitely be able to do that.

[italianguns]

ok, thank you!

Greetings from Italy!

[DBHEcho]

blow up some pigs HahahahahAHAHAHAHA

[ifuckkittens]

whoa.. are those brenneke black magics! if they are you are okay in my book!

[noaffiliationsfr]

i think that eotec is the shit on that gun haha.

[ledzep152]

Hey, i have a benelli super nova tactical. I was wondering if the 6 shot mesa shell holder with shells gets in the way of your hand when cycling the action?

[gritloyal]

If you're not careful, it'll get you...I have gashed myself before, while hog hunting. As long as your hand is not on the very near end of the forestock you'll be good to go. I've had no problems since I choked down on my grip.

I would not recommend the 8-shot shell holder for this reason.

[ledzep152]

Thanks, I grip at the rear of the forestock so it looks like i'll stick with a 4 shot.

[TacticalJunkie]

where did u order your shot shell carrier from? also what brand? does it bolt right up or do you have to mod it?

[XskillyXdillyXdonutX]

im 12 years old and woke up christmas morning and unwrapped my benelli super nova =) i love it

[Springr1911]

I love the EOTech optic, but for those on a buget you can't go wrong w/ a True-Glow

2x red dot. $80 never held a zero so well. I too am a Benelli man. Best bang for the buck :)

[mrmantomdirtydollers]

i like that sight u got on it.i want to get one for my h&r 12 gauge

[gfpd2722]

what choke do you use when you shoot slugs

[gritloyal]

I have an improved cylinder in it right now for slugs.

My favorite slugs are the Brenneke Black Magic Slugs...600gr @ 1500fps. Remington 3" Sluggers are great as well.

[XskillyXdillyXdonutX]

mine has a pistol grip i like it a little more but it also has a stock

[GOD719]

The best slugs I shot through my Remington are federal 1 1/4 oz 3" magnums. I get them out to 220 yards pretty much aiming straight at the target. No arching or anything. The brand of buckshot I suggest is Hornady tap FPD buckshot. the shells have 8 - 00 buckshot that travel at 1,600 fps. They are the fastest buckshot I have found so far

[808heaukulani]

I'm thinking about picking up one for myself. How long is the barrel on yours? and do you know the length of pull of hand?

[gritloyal]

This is a 26" bbl with a 14 3/8" pull...although I believe that the pull can be adjusted.

[808heaukulani]

thank you sir

[lmroy1979]

good looking gun
