Sabot Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm a new member of this forum and the reason why I joined the community is that I have a problem. I'd like to buy a Supernova pump gun for hunting but I do not like the ventillated rib on top of the barrel. On the official Benelli website I've found some pictures of Supernovas equiped whit a cantilever barrel but it's not clear to me if they are for general purpose or "slug only" rifled barrels. I'm looking forward for your answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabradorGuy Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm pretty sure the cantilevered barrels are rifled for slugs and therefore slug only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNSC_WARRIOR Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 they are fully rifled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NarniaVoyager Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 The cantilevered barrels are fully rifled, not smooth bore. But that doesn't really matter since you can not get one anyways. The benelli rifled barrels have been unavailable for at least 2 years. Benelli customer service says that the rifled barrels may be available this coming summer. From the new information on their website the new production of rifled barrels for the supernova are not going to be cantilevered. However if they start making cantilevered rifled barrels for the nova again, they will be cantilevered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmford Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm in the same boat. We're probably better off selling our Supernovas and getting an equivelent Browning BPS, Remington 870, Mossberg 535 ATS Turkey/Deer Combo, or the like. It's too bad. I really love my gun.

Guest GunCrazyD Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 regualr slug barrels are availalbe for the gun, but no cantilever..from what i hear it will be next year - but if they are made again it will only be for rifled barrels...no smooth bore cantilevered barrels will ever be made...
