Mechanically a great gun, I hear some make some noise but I guess it can be fixed. The down side is they are butt ugly and barrels are expensive. If you ever want a slug barrel for it you might as well just get a new slug gun, cost will be about the same and it will be easier to find from what I understand.

Best pump in my opinion would be a Browning BPS, but you won't get one for what a Nova costs.
