I'll be ordering a black Supernova tactical with ghost-ring sights and comfortech stock this week. It will be my first shotgun...for HD, camping defense, small game hunting, and eventually deer hunting with a rifled barrel (unless I hit the lotto and get an R1 in .30-06).
I'm looking around for a mag extension and sidesaddle. So far the only mag extension I've found is a tacstar, which is fairly inexpensive and gets good ratings. Mesa Tactical makes a 6-shell holder for mounting on the receiver. Although the picatinny rail version might come in handy when I decide to mount a red dot scope for deer, I'd rather have the version with the contoured plate that's designed for the M1/M2, but I'm not sure if the Supernova receiver has the proper drilled/tapped hole for the bolt, or if the backplate will fit against the receiver. Any input on that would be great, as well as recommendations for a mag extension.
I want maximum magazine capacity as long as it doesn't extend past the muzzle. For HD, I'll keep it loaded with 2 3/4" LR Powershok loads of 00 buckshot, and for camping I'll have the first two shells in 2 3/4" #4 buckshot (for snakes), followed by 2 3/4" 1 oz. hollow point slugs. I'm wondering how 2 3/4" shells I could carry at one time in the magazine with the different mag extensions. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated!
edit: Also, is Benelli the only source for the tritium inserts for the ghost-rings?
