4x4yj Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I have a brand new super nova rifled slug with a 2-7 nikon prostaff scope, weaver medium rings and weaver 93a base, green loktight. I was at the range today trying to sight it in. On the 3rd shot, the scope poped off from the top of the gun. The 4 screws from the base just pulled out the top of the gun. I guess the screws were not long enough?? The weaver base package was factory sealed when I bought it. The screw holes on the top of the gun from what I can see may be damaged? Should I have a gunsmith try longer screws if possable or see if benelli says its under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if they did warranty it, you will lose it for about 3 month<.> A gunsmith will be able to retap and install the rail very easily and you will get it back for deer season with plenty of time to spare.
