I've got a Supernova on the way! I called choke-tubes.com and they told me that 3inch hevishot 2oz. #6's will out pattern a 3.5" with 2 1/4 #6's. They also said the 3inchers pattern more consisteltny over the ten shots they test their chokes with. They recommended I get a .650 choke. Anyone agree? Disagree?
-
That is what I was thinking too. I just ordered the carlson .650 choke nonported but the company assured me that 3 inch hevi shot #6's would out pattern the 3.5's everytime. Now I'm torn between what to hunt with!

Thanks! What do you think about rem oil with moisture guard? I called benelli and they said it would be fine to apply to the outside lightly. I think I might try to clean it with that too. Opinions?
-
Looking at clenzoil at cabela's... it says it will not harm polymer or other synthetic surfaces. Anyone use it?

I have a camo M4 and I just use hoppe's elite to clean off dirt and smudges.
I don't oil the finish at all.
It is pretty tough in my experience.
I have a spot on the barrel where the camo has flaked off and all it does is reveal grey parkerizing below it. You could keep any areas like that oiled. I would use another brand of oil like the one your gun came with or FP-10.
I also have a small area on the handguard where the camo
flaked off revealing the black plastic but I don't let it bother me.
You use hoppe's elite cleaner to do that? Or oil?

You think I could get the same results with a 26' supernova? I'm on the market right now...

I just got my first benelli (supernova) and I don't want to damage the camo coating when I clean it. I was thinking of using rem oil (with moisture guard) to do it all. Will that work? I wanted something to be able to put on the barrel in case of small nicks in the coating.
-
That makes sense. I think I'll stick with the 26'. Sorta in between extremes.

I just got a Supernova in APG! I like it a lot! I'm looking for a good do-it-all solution I can use with my gun that will not damage the camo coating on the barrel or polymer. I like break free clp but I heard it will hurt the camo after a while. Is there anything safe out there that cleans, lubes, and protects all in one bottle/can?
-
Thanks! I didn't think the length would change anything, I just wanted to make sure.

I'm gonna buy a Benelli SuperNova soon in the APG with a 26" barrel. I've seen some pictures on the forums of really tight turkey patterns coming from supernova's with a 24" barrel. I'd get the same choke and load they were using, but do you think that getting a 26" barrel would throw off the pattern? I'm going with a 26 because I'm planning to use is for things other than just turkey, I think a 26 is more versatile.
-
Anyone think that getting a 26 inch supernova over a 24 will effect the tight pattern negatively?
-
4 years after your post... How long was your barrel on that supernova? I'm thinking about buying a 26" one and wondering if I can expect the same results!
3 inch or 3.5?
