Thank you for the greatings Hookster.... Yea, the M2 tactical was what I shot earlier in the month...and that's what got me looking further into Benelli. I really, really like that shotgun and if I could afford an auto that would be it. SukHoi, Your letting out your age....LOL. And yes without even thinking I've ignored a tried, true and tested shotgun. I'm old Army (95B) and I think we had both the Remington and the Winchester. But not to knock our fathers old shotgun it's time to graduate...LOL. M1, M2 or M4...yea sure...LOL. I doubt no deal out there for under a grand. Do they even make the M1 anymore??

SukHoi, You also mentioned your pump.... Now I know I'm opening up a can of worms but just have to ask.....Auto or Pump???

SukHoi, Model 12 alone fall in tons of make and models. Which one in particular??

Well said H&K...well said (pic). And I really like that option since it could be adjusted to multipule family members.

Hello fellow Benelli'ens...LOL. New to Benelli and had the pleasure of shooting an M2 Tactical a few weeks ago...fell in love but not with the price. So now I'm looking at the SuperNova. Not interested in hunting, mine are for home defense. The family shoots a range of firearms from 9mm, 40cal, 12ga, 30-06, 30-30 and a couple of .300Wby's in case I want to reach out and touch someone. We chose (with some input from me) those because of the availability of the rounds. Except for the Weatherby of course. I'm ex-military and law enforcement so I've shot everything up to a .50cal. So for someone with short pockets...why should I choose Benelli??? And if I can't offord one which brand or model should I look at??? I know this it will be tactical and in 12ga...and I would like to mix the chamber with slugs and shot. Will the SuperNova give me at least this??? Or will I have to look at one of the more pricey ones?? I welcome all comments since I'm still in the deciding stage. Obtw: I came to Benelli because everytime I mention the name everyone cracks a big smile and say "Now that's a fine shotgun"...or something like that but you get the picture.
