esoterra Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Greetings, I was thinking of buying the Supernova Tactical. Can I also use the Supernova's 24" rifled barrel, the 24" rifled slug barrel & the 24" - 26" - 28" vented field barrel on the Supernova Tactical or do I need to buy the plain Supernova. Is it basically the same gun? This is my first shotgun purchase and I just want something that is flexible. Thanks, Sean Quote
sonyman74 Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 I have a Nova and a Super Nova tactical. And yes you can use all the same barrels. The only problem is if you get the SNT with the ghost rings it will not match up with the sight bead on the barrel. A solution to that would be a scope if it is a rifled barrel or a red dot or holosight for the others. I have the cantilever on my slug barrel with a scope mounted on it. I use a BSA holosight but will soon be replacing it with another EOTech like I have on my SNT. Here is a few pics of both. If you have any other questions let me know. Quote
esoterra Posted January 26, 2007 Author Posted January 26, 2007 Nice pics! Thanks for that info. I like the ghost rings and will probably buy an EOTech. Can I just take off the ghost ring sites when I have a field barrel on? What size vented barrel is that in your picture? I appreciate the info. Sean Quote
sonyman74 Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Yes you can take off the ghost ring sight but then you will have the holes to worry about. I guess you could put the screws back in but they might go in to far without the sight in place and cause a problem. If you put on an EOTech it will be higher than the ghost sight. I called Benelli about some plugs for the holes and they have nothing. The barrel on my Nova is a 26". Quote
esoterra Posted January 26, 2007 Author Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks again...I could buy the 18" barrel on the Supernova and buy the pistol grip to make my own tactical, but the 18" on the Supernova page does not have the ghost sites. I guess I just need to decide how much I like them. Sean Quote
sonyman74 Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 They sale the SNT with or without the ghost ring sight. The one without has a rifle type sight but it does not have the pistol grip. Once you add a rail to mount your scope or holosight the ghost ring will still be usable as long as the scope or sight is off. I use a holosight to hunt with so I don't need the factory sights. Plus I looked all over and can't find the pistol grips for sale. Here is a closer pic of the sight with the EOTech mounted. Quote
esoterra Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 I picked up my SNT today for $350 ...Thanks for answering my questions and helping me to decide. Sean Quote
