Outdoorsurveys, it's not too hard to do and it gives you a good chance to degrease/clean your new gun, but I do agree that it was a surprise to me that there were no custon fit bases around and that I had to take the gun completely apart to take out the tiny rubber inserts. Benelli should ship the scope base kit with the gun if they are so hard to find. Also, it should put an insert in the manual for the procedure required to take out the plugs, or better still as I said before, use filler screws!!!

I went through the same problem. Seems like the only way to get them out is to "push" them out from inside the receiver. It would have been so much easier with removable "filler" screws !!! It's the back 2 plugs that are the problem. I could not find any way to get at these except to loosen the stock (use a 1/2 inch deep socket wrench and count the # of turns so you know how tight it has to be when you re-assemle it). This will then allow you to take the trigger assembly out, then the bolt out (Follow the instructions in the manual to do this). Finally put the gun upside down and use a small rod to gently push out the plugs from the inside (careful not to damage the threads). Hope this helps.

I used a Burris #410609 (Benelli Nova (Weaver Style)) one piece camo base. Like was said before, it is about 1/2 inch too long on the back end, so you have to cut it to fit. No problem with a sharp hacksaw or dremel tool. Then paint the end with a bit of model paint. On a more general note, I wish there were more parts readily available for this gun that custom fit - e.g a sling.

Hi guys, first post. I just purchased a Supernova Steady grip Turkey gun and am quite happy with it. I have some questions that the manual does not explain. The forum here is great and I was able to get answers to almost all my questions. One that I did not find an answer for is as follows: As I wanted to put a red dot scope on the gun, I had to loosen the Steadygrip stock in order to take out the trigger group in order to take out the rear rubber plugs in order to mount a modified (cut shorter) burris camo scope base. (wow I wish there was an easier way! removable screws would have been so much easier!). My question is how tight should I torque the nut in the stock when reassembling / tightening the stock? As an afterthought, I should have counted the number of turns when loosening it; for now I made it snug (until the stock did not wiggle anymore and then a bit more). I do not want to overtighten it as I think this could damage (warp) back swivel plate and possibly the stock. Thanks in advance.
