Go to Ombexpress.com they will send it out right away if you are part of law enforcement. They have the best prices and do large orders.

The other unmarked hole at the upper left (scoring box) is another Wad hit. Just noticed that I forgot to circle it and identify it.

Well Done. It does pay to have friends in low places. Very Festive too!

A Doberman is a Working Dog, They can be taught to do just about anything and make great hunting companions. They did use german short haired pointers and weimerainers in their creation among other hunting dogs. Not to Mention they are the Official Dog of the United States Marine Corps, so they apply to all you HD shotgun owners as well. Labs would do if we were only talking wing shooting....But labs are cool too!

You can thank New York's Turkey Program for that. Good Turkey Hunting is what its all about..except when your talking about upland.

Nothing else....are you sure about that. Seems like an extended choke was designed for more than ease and aesthetic purposes, but hey I'm not the engineer behind there designs. Seems like there may be more to it than you think. Email Carlson's chokes (Or your favorite company) and ask them...I am sure they have more reasons for you.

Nice, would like to see another angle, like a reverse side...see the engravings down to the barrel.

Looking forward to seeing your pics. I will say there could still be some arguing between sons if they are into Benelli as much as the rest of us!

Believe me I was angry when some of the people who were considered "first response" and can buy the ammo are: Fire (including volunteer) Campus Security Corporate Security Private Security Coroner Airline Pilot That really got me livid....to say the least!

Yeah, I emailed Winchester and they said that they just can't produce enough for law enforcement and civilians especially with all the hording of ammo that has been occurring causing shortages everywhere. It ticks me off too but I can see where they are coming from. There are no legal regulations, they just put the regulations on dealers that sell the T series ammo, and dedicated dealers are complying with the supplier so they don't loose them.

We discussed the Ra45T rounds a few months back and I was given a link to OMB Express. Winchester has now put regulations on the rounds and now you need to be active duty law enforcement to order them. I was denied a purchase and have appealed it but the responses from ombexpress.com don't look promising. Will anyone part with a box or two if they bought a surplus? It would be greatly appreciated! I would rather not have to go to the other sites that are selling them for a lot or require multiple box purchases (at a high price as well) plus expensive shipping. The other option is I buy a case through my dealer but I don't want to buy 1000 rounds (Just want a box for self defense and one for my collection of Black Talons- I have the Original Black Talons in 9mm!) Thanks in Advance!

What gun do you want the slug barrel for?

I agree with StrangerDanger on the hot Italian but I thought my dog was the mascot. Ziggy Benelli, AKC Reg, #1 of 10, no tattoos cause he is in MINT CONDITION.

Look through this Thread, it is dealing with slug combos pertaining to the SuperNova: http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19754 Good Luck and Happy Hunting!

You shoot a Remington with Remington Sluggers. I have a SuperNova with Black Magics. Here is a fun little shot test at 30 feet, my brother shooting his Remington 887 with Sluggers and me shooting my SuperNova with Black Magics. He scalped the dude, I pretty much put it through the same hole. Free Standing shots but an example of the great results I have been getting from this setup. No comparison, just some fun competition between brothers that applies to this late topic from this weekend. He only took one shot, cause he ran out of slugs, but I took two. I will update these photos to show up here tomorrow after work but for now here are the links. Mid Range Photo: Close Range Photo:

I am a big fan of Nitro Express in most applications, Great shot shells. Just wanted the tightest patterns, and here we are trying to post pattern tests of the endless possible ammo choices through different combos of guns and chokes. Glad you found an ammo that you get great consistent results from. Post a Pattern Test if you get a chance so we can see how tight they are and people can see the potential and if it is an ammo they would like to use this season. Good Luck. Happy Hunting and be Safe!

Re-Tested the Federal Mag-Shok Heavyweights #5 1-7/8 oz 3.5" through a full choke instead of the Carlson's Extended Ported Turkey Choke as Trapshooter suggested and got much better results. Only shot at 25 yards and hit a little high but I got a much denser pattern and I am looking forwards to this coming Saturday as that is our Opening Turkey Day. Thanks Trapshooter, the switch up realy did change the performance of the FC Wad!

Lets put a scenario in this thread to play Devil's Advocate: Up here in Maine I can hunt Bear right now, so I am out Upland Hunting with an IC choke but as we move through the forest we come upon a Bear. I always carry a slug or two on me in case of these circumstances because this does happen up here. The versatility of the smooth bore with the IC choke allows me to pop out my #6 with the handy button on the SuperNova that allows me to eject one shell without loading the next one in the magazine and insert the slug (in this case one of my 600 Gr Black Magics) and I now have the opportunity and pleasure of harvesting a Maine Black Bear along with the woodcock and partridge all with one barrel and one choke.....Just a thought, but for me if I am hunting open territory I hunt with my rifle, not my shotgun, because I will get extremely better groups and results with a rifle at long ranges of 150-200 yards or more then with a slug gun. Yay for Options! But to get back to the Thread's Topic, I still recommend getting a SuperNova, its my favorite pump shotgun that I have ever shot. Happy Hunting!

Is this your best combo as the thread asks or is it just what you use? Have you tested the many brands of slugs out of your gun to see what works best or just bought the cheapos (cause we all know you can kill a deer with a $2 box of ammo) and what kind of groups do you get at the 50 yard shots you take on deer or any other game you hunt with slugs? Just a question so please don't get defensive. Thanks.

Brenneke is a German Company so I doubt they sell to the US only. Even if that were the case there are plenty of sites that sell hunting supplies to Canada. Best of Luck!

Doesn't look like you struggled too bad HAHA! Great Going!

What is the breed of your other dog? Is that just a different color and same breed, if so I have never seen that color for a German Short Haired Pointer...

Great Looking Dogs my friend . I love our German Short Haired Pointer, does yours hold really good with no jumping in?

Whats the catch man, the Leupold scope and second barrel alone cost that much or more? And did you mean Vari-X III 3.5-8 because unless its an old scope that I can't recall I don't believe they make a 2.5-8 model.

So it has the smoothbore and rifled barrel?
