I bought my Nova two years ago as a back up tomy Benelli M1 Field Super 90 when I started going to South Dakota for pheasants. My M1 worked perfect so I never used the Nova in SD. However, I have used it for trap,doves, waterfowl and loaned it out to others for game farm bired hunts. It is an excellent pump that is highly reliable. I would recommend and have done so to many. Never noticed a rattle in mine. Oh yes, the price is perfect for any hunter to have one around.
