By The Numbers
Accuracy
The big sights make it easy to aim and easy to adjust for using slugs of high-end buckshot.
Reliability
The SuperNova's rotating bolt helps enhance the already reliable pump-action platform.
Customization
If you want customization, a Mossberg or Remington will take you a lot further.
Ergonomics
The large ejection port, loading port, adjustable drop and cast angle, and the pump design are great. The length of pull is a little long, though.

FINAL VERDICT
"On paper, the Benelli looks solid, and it’s not just good looks. At the range, it performs very well. I’ve handled lots of pump-action shotguns, but I don’t think I’ve ever had an action as smooth or as light as the SuperNova’s. This includes a direct comparison to my 1971 Remington Wingmaster." - Travis Pike
