Supernova (field) black

[BK Dawson]

I just purchased this gun for Turkey hunting. I thought it would come with drilled & tapped holes for a scope mount, but to my surprise there are no holes to mount a scope, is this correct or will I need to send it back to Benelli to have them drill & tap it for weaver scope mounts? My SBE II came with scope mount holes.

This may seem like a silly reply, but why would you put a scope on a shotgun?? Your range is pretty limited distance wise and you should be able to hit a turkey with one shot and no scope!

all supernovas are tapped! novas are not are you sure you have a supernova; also it should have like 4 lil holes above the reciever where you pop out little plastic plugs and put a rail on it then you mount your scope! let us know whats up

My Super Nova Realtree APG isn't tapped.

I have a SN apg that is not tapped

The Benelli Web Site says that only the Supernova with the 24" rifled slug barrel has the receiver tapped for scope mounting. The Supernova field w/ 26" barrel that I had wasn't tapped.

That's what I thought. I know the tactical models are tapped as well as the slug guns but not the field models.

I have a steady grip version that is tapped. I believe all those that have that stock are.

Does anyone know mount to use for a super nova?

Someone in another forum suggest these rails. I just order this, I guess you can mount whatever you want on your gun.
