mercuryracer Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hey guys, I need your help. I ordered a Supernova tactical from a local gun shop here in MN, they said they order direct from benelli. I put half down and expected to see the gun in a couple weeks, it's almost 6 months and no gun. I've been to the gun shop multiple times and they say " well get it when we get it, it's benelli". Is this normal? Are these guys scamming me or is there a 6+ month wait on a 12 gauge tactical Supernova!? I'm not happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes with Benelli 26" barrel and a Carlson's 18.5 HD barrel. No six month wait ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pragan14 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I don't know why it would take that long, I see them at Cabelas and Bass Pro all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2_shootr Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Find a new dealer...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCKLST Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I don't have personal experience with ordering complete shotguns but so far everything that I have ordered for my M4 has been back ordered or taken way longer than expected. I think that it is just a Benelli thing and is part of the ownership experience for these fine shotguns. Makes it that much more satisfying when you get what you have been waiting for though.

Got to disagree with you; when I order something I want it asap. If a company makes all of the products in-house and they do not expand because it may effect quality control then fair enough; I do not think this is the case with your M4 parts or the Supernova. I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xchief30 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I was told a long time ago when I wanted to order an M4 from a dealer that he must group together thousands of dollars worth of Benelli's before he can place an order. The dealers can not just order one shotgun at a time. That is why the big Chain stores always have stock, the smaller dealers get them in smaller quantities less frequently.

M2_shootr Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 ^^^^^ Exactly.........hence my suggestion, "find a new dealer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12508 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yes, I was once told the minimum order you can place with Benelli is $10K in stock. That was a few years ago. Might be more now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
