SuperNova Tactical?

[WhoDat]

Thoughts on this shotty? I've had issues with my 870, lately (Extractor issues - I know, I'm about the only one on the planet who's 870 isn't reliable), and looking to replace it. I was about to buy a Mossberg, but was tempted by the feel of the SuperNova. Does anyone have this gun? Is it reliable?

Any other guns I should consider? Maybe even a better 870... mine's an Express that I bought for $120 at K-Mar, ~20 years and 1,000 rounds ago.

I already have my hunting shotguns (XTremaII and a cheap O/U), so this would be for self-defense. It may, however, be put into service as a slug gun for some hunting situations.

I have one and have had ZERO problems! It even fell off my ATV into a very large mud hole and all I did was dip it into the creek and shake it off and it worked with no problems. The foregrip makes noise because of the clearance but it does not affect the function of the slide action.
But get ready to be bashed by all of the 870 owners!

I have the Nova and it shoots great. Benelli, Remington, Mossberg......they all make good shotguns. It's pretty hard to get a bad shotgun these days, I say to go with what feels good in your hands.

We'll pleased to meet you.
I know you must feel lonely at when you are the only one at those reunions.

Seriously, I just picked up a deal on a 870 Marine Magnum. Awesome piece.
btw ... My 870 Wingmaster I picked up in HS in '73 has never failed me either.

However I wouldn't mind a FN SLP or Benelli MK4 either and your choice of a Super Nova works for me too!

Guess I am just easy to please.

If I was buying a new gun, I'd go Benelli Super Nova.

Since you are in Austin, Red's does have two used 870 Express Magnum bird guns at the South store.

In my opinion, the Nova tactical w/ pistol grip and ghost ring sights is the best tactical pump you can buy off the shelf. There are some nice customs out there, but they are expensive.

Just bought a Supernova tactical, with pistol grip and ghost rings. And I did this, after a 500-round day at the range. This has been a damned costly day, an dI bought my last gun for a year, but I feel this was a good purchase. Sorry, 870 guys... LOL

Congrats on a good purchase. If you don't mind me asking, how much and where?

 

[WhoDat]

Red's North, and I paid asking price... Around $500 out the door, with the mag extension... I think?

I had a few hours of range fees, lots of ammo, and a sling for another gun... So, it got mixed-up??? LOL

I am personally a fan of the Benelli semi autos, but i have nothing against a good pump. reliable and the signature pumping sound is pretty universal to the bad guys ears.

You got a pretty decent deal on it. Congrats again.
