tyson129 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Can anyone send me a link or list off all of the available red dot sights for the SuperNova? It would be greatly appreciated because all I can find is the Burris Speed Bead Red Dot Sight. I want options, they have to be out there...I hope. Looking for an inexpensive one because I already have a red dot sight on my 870 but I want to put one on my SuperNova (temporarily) for my upcoming black bear hunt just to get a big game animal under its belt. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Trapshooter1, Do you know what mounts are best or have any links to ones that you reccomend for the SuperNova? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyson129 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thanks guys. I have decided on the setup for the bear hunt with my SuperNova...just need to decide on my ammo (I hope someone gets back to me on that...its in the big game section of the forum) Red Dot Sight http://www.truglo.com/content/products/firearm/red_dots/reddot_multi-reticle_opent.asp Mount http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=711429 If anyone has used any of these products let me know what you think of them.

Thanks That looks like a winner. If your SuperNova is not drilled and tapped already, you will need to have it done. Probably less than $50. That is the way to go! No bulky and unsightly side saddle to deal with. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapshooter1 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I would prefer to have it drilled and tapped (which means have the smith drill wholes and put threads in them) and then attach a rail to the gun with screws. You can get the rails pretty much anywhere you can find gun stuff. Or you can use a saddle mount: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0006213710172a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCHFEAT_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntk=Products&QueryText=scope+mount&sort=all&Go.y=0&_D%3AhasJS=+&N=0&Nty=1&hasJS=true&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form23&Go.x=0&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hognutz Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks guys for both of your help. I've been looking all over for a saddle mount, thanks Trapshooter1. Are you going with the saddle mount or the drilled and tapped base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyson129 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Are you going with the saddle mount or the drilled and tapped base? I dont know yet, last night I came across these: http://www.truglo.com/content/products/firearm/sluggun_rifle/pro_series.asp Any one used them before? I already have a red dot on my 870 that is dead on at about 85 yards, so its a hard decision to invest about $150 when I could get this setup for about $50. The bear will be at about 25-30 yards...Any opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyson129 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Plus I believe they can be put on and taken off really quick...that way my bird/clay gun wont get such a makeover... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bear will be at about 25-30 yards...Any opinions? I had a set that was similar to those on my turkey gun before I put on the Aimpoint. They worked really well, especially in low light conditions. All you need is a little ambient light and they light up like a christmas tree. The problem that I had was that the recoil was so bad that they would move after every shot. The ones I used were Truglo also. That being said, it looks like the ones in the link you provided are built better i.e. they have several screws to tighten down on the rib. They are built for slugs so I think they would work. If you can keep them from moving they absolutely will work for your bear hunt. It should be a slam dunk at 25-35 yards. Let me know which way you end up going. Good luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks hognutz, I was hoping to hear that they worked great in low light as that is the time I'm expecting the bear to come in. They guy who is teaching me to hunt bear wants me to not leave the blind until I cant see my hand...don't know if I will stay in there that long but I'm glad that they worked great for you in low light. I'm happy that you have hands on experience with them too because that makes me a lot more confident in my decision making. Thanks and I will be sure to let you know which way I end up going.

Josh minchew Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Is there anyway to remove the red dot on the end of my Barrel to install a different sight on my Benelli Nova? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
