The novas are a good gun and are reliable...but im gunna go with rb on this one the 870 is probably the best pump out there.

I agree with goose hunter. The nova's are reliable but there is a better Benelli.................the Super Black Eagle II. The best gun you will ever have in your life. You won't go back to anything else, I promise.

Benelli-Performance Worth the Price
I bought a Nova early last season and love it. Yeah, the thing rattles if you shake it...but how much is that really going to affect you in a blind or pit? It's easy to clean in the field and will take a beating. Paid $350 for mine last year, and saw a Camo version at Gander Mountain a few days ago for approx. $370. The solid black synthetics are down to $300, and that's a h*** of a deal any way you look at it.
The Nova is a great gun buddies and I all have one....the rattle can be reduced drasically by tightening the allen screws on the slide. 3 buddies all have SBE II's and I have a mossberg 935 that i have been playing with this year, the 935 is great(patterns totally awesome!!)as long as you clean where the gas comes out (on the inside) regularly.
