I'm trying to buy a gun for my better half. This is for small game, waterfowl, upland birds etc. So it's gonna have a bird barrel, and needs to be in youth so it fits her. Here's the question, I can go with a Rem 870, or a benelli nova. Right now bass pro is advertising the benelli in 20 ga. w/ 24" vent rib barrel for $320. I've never owned a benelli so i' like some opinions here. However, myself and everyone I know owns an 870 an no one has ever had a problem. The 870 in youth is around $220. Is the benelli worth the extra $100? or should I stick with the 870? any opinions would help, and ASAP please. I'm making the drive to bass pro tomorrow. Thanks.
