  I bought the Nova for upland and waterfowl hunting, so far it has never failed me. I got the 24 inch barrel (easy to swing around for birds.) I'd say it is worth the money.

STOP OBAMA NOW!!



  Hi Sigma, welcome to the forum! The Benelli line of shotguns are some of the best available. I'm sure you'd be very happy with any of them that suits your purpose. I'm wondering if you have considered either the Remington 870 or the Mossberg ... more »

  Sigma,
Being nobody has answered, have you thought about a Handgun? They are much easier to wield inside.
And Welcome to The Forum!

  I bought my nova to hunt waterfowl. My plan was to quit using my browning bps 10 ga (which shot like a dream), because the shells were getting too expensive. I didn't have a 12 ga that would shoot 3 1/2" shells. I found a good deal on the nova, ... more »

I believe in the *Cold, Dead Hands* saying.



  I just purchased a Nova DU edition. Its used, but in great shape. I had been looking at a Remington 870, and a Browning BPS. Talking to friends and dealers, the Benelli was the best one for me. Then we went to shoot clays. Borrowed a Nova from a friend, and fell in love with it. The feel of it, and the appearance, make it my first recommendation!

  I bought the 20ga about a month and a half ago, so me and my 14 year old son could check out the shotgun side of things. We have three other rifles. We don't hunt yet, bet he and I love shooting it! It is kinda creeping in there as the favorite gun ... more »

  Oh, I forgot I used it along with some Remington buck hammer, to take a muley one, time when the firing pin on my rifle broke.
Thanks

  My grandad gave me my Nova a few years ago and after about 3000 rounds and draging it through mud( literally) i have only had 2 jams unlike my 870 i had one every other time i went out. IMO this is the best pump gun on the market. Ducks, doves, geese or clays the Nova does'em all.

  waiting period for mine started yesterday. 9 more days and I get to take my new baby home. So far I am incredibly happy with the Tactical version with an 18.5" barrel that I ordered. Hard to get, but well worth it compared to getting a Remington or Mossberg.

  I purchased my Nova last year after shooting one a friend had. I have not had any problems after putting around 1500 rounds through it. It is also the best gun I have for staying clean. No matter what you shoot there is no dust or unburnt powder coming ... more »

  I have been using the Nova since it hit stores several years ago and I love it. I mostly waterfowl hunt with it, but have had it at the club several times shooting skeet and clays. I installed the mercury recoil reducer and the gun is quite heavy, but ... more »
