About the Benelli SuperSport
The Benelli SuperSport is a semi-automatic competition shotgun built for clay target sports such as sporting clays, skeet, and trap. Chambered primarily in 12 gauge (also offered in 20 gauge), it uses Benelli's Inertia Driven operating system and pairs a ported Crio barrel and extended Crio chokes with the ComforTech recoil-reduction stock, which Benelli claims cuts felt recoil by nearly half. A high-visibility red-bar front sight, stepped tapered ventilated rib, and included shim kit and gel recoil pads let competitors tune fit and acquire targets quickly during high-volume shooting.
The SuperSport's carbon-fiber-look ComforTech stock made it one of the most recognizable clay-target autoloaders on competitive sporting-clays courses, valued for taming the recoil of long shooting sessions.
