Question

is a benelli supernova a bad dove and quail gun. Any suggestions on good dove and quail gun in the 300 - 600 range

Answer 1

Its a good gun alright, It will shoot as strait as its shooter can.  Another 1 to consider is  a used Super Black Eagle.  Built for upland game hunting.  

Answer 2

You will be waiting a looooong time if you want an answer from JD. He doesn't come on here anymore, at least not with that name.

Answer 3

The Benelli Supernova is by far the best pump action shotgun you can get in that price range. Having shot a multitude of Rem 870s and Mossberg 500's as well as other similar priced pump shotguns, the Benelli was the highest quality, and most comfortable to shoot.

Answer 4

Not J.D. but here is my input.

Any benelli is a joy to shoot and suitable for any bird hunting.  Just a personal choice to make.

One are you set on a 12, I like to use the 20ga on smaller birds like dove, quail, woodcock, etc.  and keep the 12 for fowl, turkey, pheasant, and partridge.  

The super nova is a going to weigh about 7.5 lbs compared to the Benelli Ultra Light 20 ga at 5 lbs.  The ultra light is also a semi auto loader with a raised vent rib sight, perfect for upland birds.  Quick on the shoulder and on target and wont weigh you down on those long walks.

The Ultra light also comes in a 12 ga.

Also the older Benelli M-2  is a great auto loader, should be able to pick one up used for your price range.
