Great shell carrier. Works well. It was effortless to install on my Benelli Supernova. I used a thread locker, medium strength, and it hasn't come loose. The shells fit tightly. I didn't have any issues with them falling out. Benelli gives you an additional rubber insert that is harder, so if you have problems with shells falling out, change to the other insert and that should take care of it.

This is a well-made side saddle that was easy to install. Required full break down of my Benelli Supernova tactical shotgun but was easy for a first-timer to install.

Not only do you get a 6-shot side saddle, but you also get a Picatinny Top Rail to boot! Fit and function are perfect for my Benelli SuperNova. Secure mount: 1) remove the trigger assembly and bolt. 2) using a 3/32" punch, remove the plastic pins sitting in the four threaded holes directly in front of the rear sight, driving them up and out from the trigger well. 3) attach the Picatinny Rail to the top of the receiver by inserting the four enclosed screws into the now exposed threaded holes, after applying blue Loctite to the screw threads. The extra-long sliding forestock of the SuperNova can not travel fully with a flush-mounted side saddle attached to the side of the receiver. The Mesa Tactical Saddlerail solves this fit problem: it is cantilevered over the bottom of the receiver, creating a gap that enables the forestock to slide between it and the receiver as you pump a shell into the chamber. The shells are friction-fit into the individual shell holders by a rubber Dowell that runs the length of Saddlerail. If you want a tighter fit, replace the dowell with the enclosed alternative Dowell. Holds the shells securely, looks sharp, and the Picatinny top rail is a nice extra if you plan on running optics.

This is an excellent addition to my Benelli Supernova. The installation was straightforward and matched the gun very well. The rail does not interfere with my ghost ring sights at all. The black elastomer that came installed in the product works great for my 2.75-inch shells and has a shore value, or stiffness, of A64. Loading brass up will be more secure than loading brass down, but if you want to load brass down and don't trust the pre-installed black elastomer, a white elastomer is included. This elastomer is rated with a shore value of A73, meaning it is stiffer than the black elastomer.

It's a little on the spendy side, but for home defense "bet your life on it" gun I wouldn't trust the Chinese counterparts. Fit and finish are perfect and very aesthetically pleasing. The retention is just right as well. Love the all-aluminum construction. It's a nice touch that the rail still allows for the use of the factory ghost ring sights if your optic fails.

Beautiful Benelli supernova side saddle and rail. The fit and finish were astounding. It screwed right on and fitted beautifully. Very reliable. It makes an excellent accessory to my shotgun. It looks look like it belongs on the gun!

Awesome Benelli supernova accessory. A must-have. I really need to work in the tension that holds the shells in the saddle. Very stiff and strong at first. It was a pain in the butt to disassemble my entire gun to push out the plastic plugs that filled my top rail mounting points but something I needed to learn regardless. Now I can disassemble and reassemble with my eyes closed. Recommend to anyone.

The Mesa Tactical SureShell Shell Carrier was pretty simple to install. BIG TIP HERE, if you have the Benelli Supernova with the pistol grip you cannot remove the trigger assembly without loosening the buttstock first! You need to remove the trigger assembly in order to push out the plastic pins in the pre-drilled holes on top of the receiver. Had to use a 13mm socket wrench with at least a 3" extension. You don't have to remove the buttstock, just loosen it enough to remove the trigger assembly. Hopefully, this saves someone the extra hour it took me to figure this out! After all, is said and done though, the piece fits and looks great!

Easy mounting looks great works like it should.

design fits perfectly on my weapon , functional,very sturdy rail,don't get any better than this.........
