Title: Choke recommendations for benelli supernova
Post by: LARRYHAYNES on February 16, 2015, 07:23:39 PM
I have everything I need for my remmington 870 and my mossberg 835 but I just came across this gun and need help finding a choke that will work good with it. It has a 24" barrel and a 3 1/2" chamber and gonna be shooting #5 or #6 shot. Everyone has helped me a lot with my other guns so thanks guys for the input

I hunted with a Supernova for several years.  I had very good luck with a SumToy .650..... Shooting hevi 13 3.5" #7's... Never shot longbeards through that specific gun but I'd bet they would do great.

I have heard of good results with that gun and a .665 Indian Creek. IC is also willing to help you find the right choke for the gun. Too notch customer service based on my experience with them. What type of shells are you going to shoot? Shells are more important than the choke.

I've had a Nova, same barrel as the Super Nova, as well as several other Benelli shotguns, for many years. It's just hard to beat the SSX in those guns. They seem to work together like few other combinations.

I would recommend that you deep clean the bore of that gun. It's chrome-lined and can look clean when in reality it may have  a good bit of "gunk" in it. Benelli shotguns respond very well to clean barrels.

Thanks,
Clark

I have had great patterns with a Trulock .660 with the Win HV 3 1/2" #5 shot. I have not tried the LB yet.
