i have owned a Nova pump for over 10 years. i LOVE my Nova tactical.
Thanks for pointing out the stock differences between the two. I like having the option to swap out that part, in case I find the stock too long.
Thank you for presenting the humble nova in all its glory, I think for the price point it has a lot of great features and the fact that it can shoot 3 1/2 shells is awesome
I really appreciate your straight forward presentation. When I watch a video I want to know everything about the rifle or gun. You covered it well and what I really like is that you did not throw a bunch of subjective conversation into the presentation letting us to find out for ourselves what we might not like of about a model. So often I find many of the video’s go out of there way to be nit-picky. As a consumer that is my job and if I came to buy a gun or rifle or shotgun from you, I would NOT have my preconceived negativity toward on product or another. Thank You. nicely done
Love the M4, 590A1 is good, but now I want to get one of these too. My credit card is going to be sending you nasty notes.
If you buy just the m4 you won't need the 590
really piss it off with the Beretta 1301
Always love shotgun reviews! I like the oversized pump on these.👍
I bought one of these in 2003 when Field and Stream gave it gun of the year award. 3 of us had them in the duck blind. I remember 2 of the 3 started to fail. The guns would not fire because the firing pin was getting so dirty. If you clean it well, will run perfectly. By comparison my 870 had never failed in 25 years in the field. The Nova is a fine gun and I still use it. Just remember to clean it often and don’t forget the pin.
And we really appreciate you doing these videos!
Well, what a great review, and analysis! I got a Super Nova, my first 12 GA with the pistol grip some 4 mos ago, just managed to go shoot it yesterday! WOW! It Is A Cannon! Been shooting AR-15, 15 22, and 9mm, Wow! SO glad I got it! Talk about powerful! Because the indoor range I use only allows slugs, I had 2-3/4” Winchester Defender($2 ea.), segmented rifled slugs, 1600 fps as first round! WHOA! What a blast, and kick in the shoulder! OMG I’m hooked. Only shot 5, just wanted to test! Looking forward to trying lower priced shot shells at outdoor range. Thanks for your excellent review.🇺🇸
Informative, and very professional presentation. Thank you.
"Its looks different back here because its different " the moment subscribed
fantastic video- thank you for making and posting this
My regular Nova is the tactical model with the reciever mounted ghost ring and barrel mounted front sight.
a tank got one
Just purchased the SN and I love it
Thank you so much for you time making this video. I just bought one. And im looking for information on this gun. Thanks so much for your effort and time.
Discovered this channel today. Great video! Thank you!
great review, can tell you're extremely knowledgeable on these. Awesome video!
Another great review. Look forward to these every week. Would be great to see you take a look at a few hunting rifles - Bergara B14, Browning A-Bolt and X Bolt, etc.
I love my supernova tactical!
Just bought a Nova with the 28" barrel since I want to try my hand at clays. Picked up a deal on a 18" Carlson's barrel off ebay. So I have two guns in one for a little less than $600. Very happy with it.
Excellent, informative, to the point...now I want one...just not sure which one! Thanks for the video, I just subscribed to your channel.
Fantastic review Sir!! I picked one up a few months back and Love it🤙🇺🇸
This is the best review I've ever watched
another great review, allen.
Oh awesome! Good morning everyone!
Great review. Thanks again.
Good presentation. Own the original Noav with the ghost ring option, tube extenter, and mounted a forward rail and nyon side saddle. great gun.
A real good review. I bought the Super Nova Tactical with 18.5 inch barrel and rifle sights. I am next looking a the full size Super Nova with camo finish.
Gunbroker has a few, I got my supernova in realtree max 5 for 360$ new when ganders went out of business for the second time lmao
Thanks for the review, very tempted in purchasing one of these over a Mossberg
Either are a good choice, simply put. I favor the latter for more than one reason. BUT Benelli quality ranges from good to excellent. Part of the question is----how much are you willing to pay? Even Benelli shotguns can be found in the 400-600 range. But I'm pretty sold on Mossberg---I own more than one, and even a Maverick I'd trust my life with that power. Still, Benelli's action on their firearms is no joke. I may even get one down the road myself, who knows. But I haven't heard many complaints about Benelli---if you have the cash to spend, it may be up your alley.
Thanks again
Great info on mid range shotgun
Great info!
Great video. Can you share about the recoil you have experienced in these shotguns? Any favorable difference in recoil from other brands?
Thx you for sharing. Great review!
Excellent Review!
Great video. You shoot that thing as fast as a auto.
Nice demo!
One additional bit of spec. The Super Nova tactical with the traditional shaped butt stock includes the ComforTech recoil reduction system while the pistol grip Super Nova does not. I have never fired a Benelli with the recoil reduction system but I have heard that while the 48% reduction in felt recoil might be a bit of exaggeration, it does ease some of the 12 gauge kick in these guns. I assume that including the sling mounts on the pistol grip prohibits the use of the recoil reduction system on that option.
I bought my benelli nova 3 years ago. Awesome gun
eats all
Nice review.
Awesome review and just what I needed to know about my recent purchase of the exact Super Nova. The question I have Allen is what brand of shell storage you have on the stock which seems to just go over around the stock? I do not want to glue anything on the parts of the gun and the rail system storage is nice but kind of pricey for these, plus you loose factory sight. Anyone that has a good suggestion is welcome to reply. I want to be able to carry at least another 5 or so rounds.
Picked up a 590 recently. Its my first Mossberg, as I’ve always been a Remington (for pump action) guy. Just doesnt suit my fancy. Little things here and there leave me wanting. The fore end being so far out like was mentioned feels awkward and so does the tang safety. Its very rattley and i’ve already had issues with the shell stop not releasing shells from the tube reliably (replaced it for $18. Not bad, but still…).
I own a Benelli semi-auto and its awesome. I’m debating whether to get a SuperNova or just get the old tried-and-true 870 in a tactical version. Looks like both will be about the same price.
Very informative but you forgot one of the chief differences between the Nova and Super Nova shotguns: the Super has an effective recoil management system located in the stock that actually works well! I have the Super that you have as well as the factory collapsible model with the pistol grip and the wicked 14.5" barrel. Ho-yah fun on the shooting course!
You can order the adjustable length stock from Benelli, I ordered my SuperNova in that configuration.
Sold out
gonna keep my polymer steel reinforced bitch goin on 18 yrs
I'm rocking the Supernova and its definitely a beast!
Hey do you have the comfort tech stock?
I got a Super Nova Tactical as my first shotgun a few years back. Love the reliability and smoothness of the action, but I have to say, if you're under 6'6' and your knuckles don't skim the ground when you walk, you might find the length-of-pull on the pistol grip stock to be a bit much. Fortunately, the Mesa Tactical pistol grip stock for the Benelli is available as a viable option, and the shorter length of pull sure made a difference for me. It's a much more controllable gun now.
everyone is built different Ofer lol make it work or buy something else
Great video just picked up a Super Nova up at Sportsman Wear house.
Got one ordered as well. How do you like it?
What are you shooting in your quick videos that pop up in between your review? Looks a little different, I’m assuming a modified one? Thank you
I learned a lot thanks
Thanks. I think it's the supernova for me!
Nice review. Just picked up a nova today as my first shotgun. Watched several videos and it’s a very easy gun to disassemble for maintenance. But I didn’t see anything taking about the button on the pump arm. Was wondering what that was. Didn’t see anything in the book. So that helps to remove the round in the chamber with out trying to send up another. Does it pull back the round for easier removal or do you still have to get in and pick at the round and pull it out?
It will eject the round in the chamber just like normal. It just keep another round from being fed from the mag tube. Its meant to clear the gun and make safe without having to empty the tube. Also used if you want to single-load a different shell type than whats in the mag.
I got one of the tactical supernova's, kicks like a mule with the magnum slugs, and works just fine with the mini shells. don't believe I'll see a need to ever buy a different one...but I'll still probably buy more just because...
I have been wondering how well the Nova cycles the mini-shells. My Mossberg 590A1 needed the OpSol adapter to be reliable.
My Nova also kicks when using slugs.
Do you run it with no choke when shooting slugs?
@@camborambo5546 cylinder bore, no chokes.
My go to Gun Shop
Love your videos thanks for all the information I was thinking about buying a supernova for hunting is it a good hunting shotgun
Yes they are, however the Super Nova and defensive model Nova have chrome lined cylinder bore barrels for defensive use. Rifled Slugs in these models will work well for hunting ( to about 75 yards) and buck shot for short range hunting at around 30 yards or so.
You can get 24", 28" and 30" barrels that will interchange with the defensive Nova models.
Really clear and friendly presentation, Allen. Highly appreciated. I've really come to enjoy my gun, the Nova, by using it, but this presentation made me appreciate the quality even more.
Any recommendations for different sight options for it?
Hey Anderson, how are you doing with the stock on the Nova? Do you find it a bit long or not really an issue? I have a Supernova and I love it!! I was just curious about the stock from another person's point of view.
@inOZ8434 Hi. Not an issue for me, being quite the tall fellow, however adjustments options would be nice for when friends and family shoot it. I love the gun too.🙂
Awesome my friend, thank you!
Thanks for a great detail explanation of the difference between the Benelli Nova Shotgun and the Benelli Super Nova Shotgun.
Bought me a Super Nova about four months. Two things attracted me to this shotgun the awesome looks and that is made by Benelli a company well known for making high end shotguns. I am in love with the Super Nova Benelli Shotgun !
Hey Allen, good informative video well done. I just purchased a Nova tactical version, with ghost ring sights, and the extended mag tube. I was wondering if you would answer a question, you don't have to for whatever reason, but were you a captain on a yacht on a T.V. show BELOW DECK. Thanks very much. Take care
The Below Deck yacht captain is Capt. Lee Rosbach. Met him once. Nice guy.
I noticed a magazine tube extension on the one you are shooting in the video. Are they added easily? If so who makes them? Thank you and great video review. 👍🏼
It will just twist onto the threads of the standard tube mag's end.
You will have to remove the original plastic plug and replace it with the provided new plug and spring.
Easy peasy.
Do I store this gun with the action open or closed?
I wish if Supernova offered you the possibility to interchange barrels from 28 to 22 or 18 and vice-versa !
You can
What sling are y’all running on it?
Great video very informative. Any one know if this is a better gun than a moss berg.
Yes it is a better gun in my opinion.
Better designed and mechanically superior.
Thank you
I heard the new nova models are having QC problems like Remington. Is this true? Also wondering if super is worth extra 100.
I’ve never heard that, Supernova seems like a nice upgrade. Depends on what you want, I guess.
Nice, what side saddle do you have on the buttstock?
Now I need one :'(
I have one and it really is a good pump shotgun.
i have the nova tactical with ghost ring sights they are very fine shotguns
Can I ask what happened to the front sight between 8:55 and 9:12? Too many 3½" loads?
Good eye. Very good question also
I just purchased the Nova yesterday, I live in Jersey so I have to wait until midweek to pick it up 🤬
Benelli makes a collapsible stock for the supernova they’re just super hard to find and you can’t get them directly from benelli. I have one
I have one as well, mine came on the shotgun when I bought it new.
@@brucecamparmament3728 how?
@@mattwalters6834 I bought the SuperNova tactical.
@@brucecamparmament3728 neat, didn’t know you can get those from the factory. The one I have on order is pistol grip and fixed stock which is fine by me.
are there extended tunes available ... anyone
Can anyone help me with this....
So if I bought the benelli nova with a 26 inch barrel could i just swap it out for an 18 inch barrel at a later time?
Yes. I got a 28 inch nova and ordered an 18.5 barrel and it works just fine
I ordered it thru benelli
@@chaddofelmire4756 Awsome thank you!
Benelli has a collapsible stock option oem.
I watched a video by Ted Nugent where he used the .5 inch shells in Turkey shot, 12g. It was most impressive. I think I could be able to tolerate some hard recoil when my life is in danger knowing that what I am shooting, 3.5 inch #00, will knock down a thug not having to use the 7-8 shots of 9mm that is shown in real life to be necessary to stop a thug. Take the pain to live another day. Thanks for the informative video.
Best BANG for the buck...imho
Do a review in 24 inch
I still can't beleive you are LOCAL
Been going to Olde English for nearly 30 years.. I still can't believe I found em on YouWillComplyTube lol
Anyone use it on turkeys?
Great video, BUT- the NOVA only chambers 2.75 and 3” shells. The SUPERNOVA chambers 2.75, 3 and 3.5” shells.
Bought my nova 2 months ago, it has 3.5 on the barrel.
Not true you dingus. Ive handled plenty of Novas in the store, they all chambered 3.5 inch rounds.
Dingus. Great word. I stand corrected. You are correct. I was incorrect.
@@kennethkrieb3018 its ok, i thought the same thing for years, i thought that was the only difference between a Nova and Super Nova.
So after researching this on Benelli’s own website, I’m even more confused. And the fact that I own a Supernova that chambers 2.75” to 3.5” shells and my son owns a Nova that only chambers 2.75” and 3” shells (according to the print on the barrel) what actually IS the difference between the 2? Just the ‘comfort-tech’ stock? And maybe the trigger guard?
Great gun however the heavy trigger pull should be addressed.
Still not rugged like the mossberg 590A1 which is a tank.
Got the benelli super nova tac 12 le.14 inch eat anything.😂She is a peach.Yes it is the le.😂
Cant have handguns hell yeah lol.
Had one. Sold it. Trigger was the worst mess of mush, creep, and stack I've ever known. Yeah I know it's a shotgun. Also racking slide just sounded like a whole lot of plastic. I feel like Benelli could have done much better since they project such a premium brand image.
My Super Nova tactical has a very short break and crisp. Nowhere what you described.
@@mykesinger Maybe they've improved them since the model I had.
this is my full size and his buddy is my ks7 for inside the house a perfect house sweeper fckin perfect 7 plus 1 mfers!!
