{"reviews":[{"id":4861330,"locale":"en_US","rating":3,"title":"5 Star Shotgun, but…..","text":"The Benelli Ethos SuperSport is a 5-star shotgun, but there is a major issue with the one I bought and Benelli Customer Service has not responded to three request for assistance. Read on to find out more about the shotgun and the issues associated with the one I bought.\nI have had this shotgun for one month. I am using it in a sporting clays league. I have shot 10 rounds of sporting clays with it, so I have over 500 rounds through the shotgun. The Benelli Ethos SuperSport has cycled flawlessly with both 1 ounce and 1 and 1/8 ounce loads by both Fiocchi and Winchester. The shotgun points and swings smoothly. The gun is light and well balanced. Recoil is mild due to the stock technology. It fits me perfectly! I love this shotgun!\nNow for why this shotgun lost two stars in this review: The first round of sporting clays I shot with this gun, I got a lousy score. I was left wondering how I missed so many easy targets. After all, I was using the choke tube marked as \"improved cylinder\", which is an all-around excellent choke for the course I shoot at. One of my teammates asked me, “what happened?” My answer was, “I don't think I understand Benelli choke tubes.\" So with that in mind I went home and measured each choke tube with an electronic calipers. Wow! The choke tubes that came with my gun were really tight! All the tubes are much tighter than I would have imagined. The tubes are labeled as Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder. Based on my measurements, and comparing to both Carlson and Briley numbers, the tubes are more like Extra Full, Full, Improved Modified, Modified, and Skeet 1. I shot another round the choke tube labeled “Cylinder” (actually Skeet 1) using Winchester AA Heavy Target loads and my score jumped upward. But, I could not reach some longer targets. Bought a Carlson Sporting Clays Improved Cylinder choke tube and shot another round. My score jumped upward again. I bought enough Carlson Sporting Clays choke tubes to get around the course with, and I am very happy with my scores. So, this shotgun looses 1 star because the choke tubes that came with my gun have constrictions that don’t match the label on the tube.\nI have contacted Benelli Customer Support three times with questions about the choke tubes. I have not received a response, even after 1 month since my first request. So, the shotgun looses another star because Benelli won’t communicate with me.\nNow some other comments:\n1. The staff at Scheels have been great, as they always are.\n2. There are others that have reviewed Benelli shotguns using the Ethos SuperSport choke tubes. They have observations similar to mine; the choke tubes shoot very tight.\nIf Benelli ever contacts me, I may rewrite this review.","textLength":2779,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":5,"downVotes":2,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[{"type":1,"dimensionId":3,"dimensionLabel":"Value","id":10,"code":"VAL04","label":null,"value":4},{"type":1,"dimensionId":4,"dimensionLabel":"Durability","id":16,"code":"DUR05","label":null,"value":5},{"type":1,"dimensionId":5,"dimensionLabel":"Quality","id":20,"code":"QUAL4","label":null,"value":4}],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"ND Bird Hunter","firstName":"Paul","lastName":"Pansegrau","emailAddress":"[email protected]","externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2024-07-03T12:57:33-04:00","purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2024-06-30T18:26:24-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"5691-10631","title":"Benelli ETHOS SuperSport 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/5691-10631","category":"semi-automatic-shotguns","reviewCount":2,"ratingCount":2,"averageRating":4,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":1,"4":0,"5":1},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":1057271,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Fun and worth it","text":"It shoots like a beast and it is fun to shoot skeet and dove hunt","textLength":65,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":9,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"CBaugh","firstName":"Colton","lastName":"Baugh","emailAddress":"[email protected]","externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2021-05-15T17:54:07-04:00","purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2021-05-09T21:12:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"5691-10631","title":"Benelli ETHOS SuperSport 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/5691-10631","category":"semi-automatic-shotguns","reviewCount":2,"ratingCount":2,"averageRating":4,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":1,"4":0,"5":1},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]}],"offset":0,"limit":10,"total":2}"Full Description:\nThe ETHOS SuperSport combines the excellence of our popular ETHOS Sport model with a new, lightweight, weather-resistant carbon-fiber finish for unmatched performance in any weather.
