Benelli Supernova recoil?

February 8th, 2011 by eranio

I recently posted a question comparing the recoil of my 1960s 870 Wingmaster to that of a new Benelli Supernova and got conflicting answers. Som people said the recoil on the Benelli was minimal while some said it was basically brutal. I’m looking to purchase a Supernova soon unless something turns me away from it such as more reports of extreme recoil. I plan to use it for shooting clays quite frequently and the occasional turkey hunt. Since I will be shooting clays mostly I don’t want to have a gun with such severe recoil that it takes the fun out of it. I will be mostly shooting 2-3/4" target loads with 1 to 1-1/8 ounce shot.

I would extremely appreciate it if I could hear back from people who own a Supernova and can comment on it’s recoil or from people who have shot one and can also comment on it’s recoil. I research everything to death before I buy something and want to make sure I’m making the right choice. By the way I’m 6 feet tall and 170 pounds.
Football Freak can you suggest a good 7/8 ounce load and where to find it? I’ve looked for 7/8 ounce 12 gauge shells and 1 ounce is the lightest I can find and can get 100 rounds locally for 24 dollars. The 1 ouncers are what i plan on using for clays with the Benelli. I’m not recoil sensitive but if the gun has severe recoil it will make a clay shoot less enjoyable. Only other gun I’ve considered is Browning BPS. I want to stick with a pump for dependability.

I am looking for a shotgun that can do everything. I am willing to spend some money. But in doing this i want a shotgun not just for one specific thing. Is there a shotgun that i can duck hunt with, turkey hunt with, dove hunt, go goose hunting with and maybe even deer. Basically i want a shotgun that can hunt anything i want to. I am lookin at the Berretta Xtrema 2… any other suggestions?

Mossberg Shotguns?

November 4th, 2009 by eranio

Should i get a mossberg 500 or a mossberg 535? I will be hunting birds (doves.phesant.exc), deer, squirrel, and some other small game. I want the combo because of the rifled deer barrel. I want a 12 gauge. i have a 20 and a 16 already. Anyone ever shot both or have both? help me out!
I was leaning towards the 500 anyway. But 3.5 shells are those the ones that are like 8.00 a box? I would like to also turkey hunt.
how much is an 870 express combo. How much is a Mossberg 500 or 535 combo? I have been told that 870 are better but, the Mossbergs are LOTS lighter.
