Breathe dude...Cody got me mine and it's excellent...Go help him shovel snow and maybe he'll cut you a deal...

Thanks for your service - welcome to the board!

First, let me begin by saying how much I enjoy this forum. It's nice to have a spot on the web dedicated to benelli firearms, of which I am a long time fan and fairly recent owner. My SuperNova tactical is just sublime and I have nothing but praise to report - this thing is just awesome. I would however like to offer a suggestion or two, for whatever they are worth... First, perhaps expand the forums to include a 'Marketplace'. This would free up the discussion forums from WTB/WTS/WTT ads and allow those looking to buy, sell or trade items a specific place to look for it. Second, perhaps expand the forums to include a 'Other Firearms'. This would free up the discussion forums for specific Benelli topics and offer a place for those wishing to discuss non-Benelli guns, (which is always fun)... Thanks again...

You're all set then...Front sight is adjustable for windage and elevation, so have at it...The 3.5's will be a bit of a let down. I'm a recoil-junkie myself and was amazed at how soft they were out of this Benelli. Just a superb gun...They definitely go boom for sure, but not like you'd expect...Enjoy!

I'm going to reverse my suggestion for a rear sight, (unless you really want to go that route). You can certainly add one, but it would seem pricey and needing a gunsmith, (unless there's one I don;t know about, which is possible). If you add the 18.5" smoothbore, I'd add a rail and get a red dot...The 18.5" smoothbore is a laser beam with Brenneke KO's, Federal Flight Control or other smoothbore slugs. That way, you can just pop off your red dot and go back to bird hunting etc...

Sorry man - missed this thread. The front sight is adjustable for windage and elevation...You'll need a small box wrench to adjust elevation. Why don't you just buy the rear sight? - it's superb...

I wish someone with some forward thinking would do a separate WTS/WTB sub-forum and add a Sticky for "feedback" - just a suggestion... In absence of that, I'd like to leave feedback for Cody 6.0... I ordered a Benelli OEM +2 and received it today. This, after my receptionist sent the first money order to the wrong state. Taking matters into my own hands, I sent out a MO last week and received my extension - in perfect condition, today. It works perfectly and I much prefer it to the after market extensions - some of which are flimsy and others which feel the need to stamp HUGE white lettering on them...This one just fits and works - without all the hoopla.... One of these days, I'm going to hunt down a full-length tube, but until then, this Benelli +2 fits the bill nicely...Thanks Cody! Mark

Most of the people I see on welfare cannot afford, nor do they have the good taste to buy a Benelli. They usually trade their food stamps for beer money and buy a sawed off H&R from the guy behind the recycling center...Then they turn those in for Wal-Mart cards during the gun buybacks...I have yet to spot an M4 on the pile...

I think I love this place...

See what I miss when I'm not paying attention? That is sweet! I think I passed them over because I thought they were M4-specific. Excellent suggestion Hookster. It's a must have...

No apologies - we were all newbies once. It's normal...now get out there and shoot that gun. Congrats on a nice choice. Which Super Nova did you get?

While the 930SPX is a nice shotgun, buy the SuperNova Tactical...First of all, it's set to go out of the box. Ghost ring sights, pistol grip, sling mounts. If you want side-saddles and light mounts go here: http://www.mesatactical.com Search the board here for extensions, but I'm getting a Benelli OEM extension. TacStar seems to be popular, but I looked at one over the weekend and it seems weak. Choate seems solid, but does not match the gun... The SuperNova Tactical is easily the smoothest tactical pump gun I've had the pleasure of firing. I spent last weekend at a pumpkin shoot sending 3.5" 00 buck into the attacking orange orbs all day with no ill effects at all. Welcome to the board...

We may get a bit more technical....Eggheads are working out the details, but we're talking about mesh gel, denim and sensors - stuff beyond my pay grade...I'm just the trigger man - they're going to do the math...

Thanks man - will be a big help. Trying to compile as much data as possible. Going to turn a bunch of stuff into some folks at MIT soon and try and see if I can get a few deep-thinkers with some electronic measuring goodies to help me out with this....

What I'm curious about is the energy at impact over extended ranges. I'm not entirely convinced that at ranges too far above 25m the pellets carry enough energy to be a true fight stopper...Perhaps a fight interrupter, but without accurate energy-at-impact data, I'm not banking on a shotgun for anything but CQB. I could of course be wrong, but am in the process of finding out. I will be doing some extensive testing of shotgun rounds with the help of people who know far more than I. The details as of yet are not finalized, but stay tuned... Nice report!
