  1. My SuperSport is over two years old and after break-in of 200 rounds of thumpers (Rem STS sporting 1 1/8 oz at 1300 fps) (thank goodnes for the comfortek stock) it would cycle 1 oz at 1200 fps. For the past year I have been using 7/8 oz at 1250 fps and it works every time. I have approximately 5000 rounds through the gun, mostly at skeet and sporting, but some phesant and duck hunting too and I have had exactly 3 failures to load caused by a bad reload (belled mouth).

  2. The Verona line is manufactured in Italy by one of the several Rezini brothers. BC Outdoors is kaput, so is Eldorado Cartridge Co. I recently saw an ad for Savage Arms that looks very nuch like the Verona. Savage is calling it the Milano.

  3. Porting on the choke tube just makes for a dirty job of changing the choke tube. It cannot do a thing for muzzle jump because it is ported around the entire circumference of the tube. If it were ported only on the top of the tube when it is snug; it might help some with muzzle junp. As for recoil reduction if any it will be minimal.

  4. Just get a SuperSport, Sport II or a Cordoba. They only have 3 in. chambers but will cycle 1 oz. loads at 1200 fps with no problems. Mine will do the same for 7/8 oz. loads in the 12 ga. If you get a 3 1/2 in. chamber you may have problems with any 2 3/4 inch shells.

  5. Tell all the so called experts who say that 30 inches is too long for skeet to get a life. Lots of big name skeet shooters are using over/under's with 30 and 32 in. barrels. Same for semi-autos. I shoot everything with my supersport with it's 30 in. barrel. Works good in a duck blind too.

  6. A couple of years ago a friend and I were on a phesant hunt in South Dokata. He had his new SBE which has the matt finish. On the second day of the hunt it rained and our guns got thouroughly wet. I used WD-40 on the exterior of my gun, he just wiped off his with a dry towell. The next morning his looked like a solid mass of rust, mine had NO rust at all. Matt finished guns need more carefull cleaning than blued guns. I have seen the same results on a Rem. 870 Express.

  7. Hello Supersportshooter: As I was reading the replys to your problem it appears that some of the respondents do not know that the Comfottec stock on the SuperSport in made of a composite material and is not easily extended. Fortunately I am able to shoot mine (two years old)very well with the Monte Carlo style comb (additional $65 from your dealer. I found that in addition to being just a little short the stock could not be adjusted high enough for my shooting style, ergo the Monte Carlo insert. A friend is using the aluminum snap in fixture and a quarter inch spacer under a Kickease pad, it works for him. I have not seen the Brownells extension, so I don't know how it works. The Benelli folks at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas last Feb. say that they are working on a longer pad but would not say when it will be available. Now for the good part; I have had one (1) failure to feed with mine in approximately 20,000 rounds. It will work with 7/8 ounce loads at 1250 fps with no hickups and has done well with 3 in. HeviShot loads in the flooded timber duck shooting in Arkansas and with heavy phesant loads in South Dakota. Would I get rid of it; Not for anything. I work at a sporting range in Las Vegas and shoot 3-400 rounds a week primarily with it.

  8. At the SHOT show in Las Vegas last spring I talked to one of the Benelli representatives about having the SuperSport in 20 ga with a 30 in. barrel. He stated that engineering was looking at doing this but it would take a while. I told him that they have the frame (legacy) already done, the barrels of the legacy could easily be made in 30 in. and the ComforTech stock of the M-2 20 ga is already done. So what engineering is needed. Since I bought my 12 ga SuperSort In December of 04, I use it for sporting and hunting and love it, I would think that a 20 ga version with a barrel longer than 26 in. should really sell. It would make a great quail and dove gun plus be great in small gauge sporting events. :confused:

  9. Just follow the instructions in the manual. 250/300 rounds of what your chamber is made for; 3 1/2 or 3". I have had a supersport for over a year now shooting 300+ shells per week with no problems. it is a 3" chamber. I broke it in with 300 Nitro 27's from Remington (handicap trap load) and it functions well with my favorite load 7/8oz #8 shot at 1250 fps.

  10. Hello all.

    I have shot my SuperSport since last December at sporting clays, skeet and trap. I usually shoot 3-400 shells per week. The SS is now my favorite semi-auto. There are four of them being shot at the Nellis Gun Club. I am not aware of any problems with any of them. Great gun; just wish they would offer it in 20 ga with 30 in barrel.

  11. Recently bought a 12 ga SuperSport with 30 in barrel. I have Beretta's (303, 390, 391); Winchester Sx-1's and Browning Gold's. The SuperSport is by far the best handling of the bunch. I have only one question. When will Benelli offer the SuperSport or Legacy in 20 ga. with 30 in barrel. This would be an ideal sporting clays small guage setup.
