After looking and handling many shotguns, I’m very pleased with the purchase of the SuperNova. Of coarse, it’s not a semi-auto but:
Likes:
Comes with three chokes w/tool and drop change kit (shims)
Vented rib and dual bead system
Tighter bore (.723) than most which helps with a tighter pattern
Intergraded (molded, cap/stock) studs for sling
Magazine stop button which will come in handy when squirrel or rabbit hunting, if I run a cross a hog I can eject the light load and insert a heavier load without empting or releasing additional rounds from the magazine.
Smooth action with no rattling (any) or free play in the fore-end assembly
The roomy trigger guard which will come in handy during the winter when I’m wearing gloves
The magazine cap that doubles as a tool to remove the trigger assembly which means I can break it down in the field, if needed.
I have the option for different comb inserts (check rest) on the stock (height and comfort)
All weather finish, The finish of the gun is well done and I haven’t found anywhere the finish doesn’t cover the gun.
Very well balanced, even though it’s a little heavier than others, I find it very easy to handle and my swing is smooth.
Dislikes:
It’s ugly, but that is a very small detail for all the likes
The trigger pull is 7.5 lbs (corrected, now 3.5 lbs), but no creep, etc.
Even though the recoil is noticeably less than the other pump guns I’ve shot, the standard pad is too hard and the manufacture comfortech gel recoil pad seems overly priced so I use a limbsaver pad.
However, I hope to own the fully auto AA-12 or Saiga-12
