The 18.5 inch cylinder-bore barrel is steel with a fixed cylinder choke, offering dependable patterns for defensive and duty roles. The action uses Benelli's rotating multi-lug bolt head for strong lockup and smooth cycling. A magazine-stop button on the forend allows quick administrative handling without unloading the magazine tube.
The receiver is a steel skeleton overmolded with polymer for strength and durability while keeping weight manageable. It comes drilled and tapped with four screws installed, providing a ready mounting interface if desired. Factory markings include "Benelli ARMI – URBINO – MADE IN ITALY" and "Benelli U.S.A. Corp. – Accokeek, MD."
Ergonomics are straightforward and control-focused: a black polymer stock with a pistol grip and rubber buttpad, integrated sling attachment points, and a matching polymer forend. The length of pull is 14.5 inches, giving a solid, repeatable shoulder mount.
Sighting is handled by a ghost-ring rear with click-adjustable settings paired to a protected post front, delivering a fast, precise sight picture. Chambering covers 2 3/4, 3, and 3 1/2 inch shells with factory capacity of 4+1 using 2 3/4 or 3 inch shells (3+1 with 3 1/2 inch shells), making it flexible across common 12 gauge loads.
Made in Italy, this SuperNova Tactical brings Benelli's proven pump-action design together with practical features and clean execution, backed by clear import and origin markings.
