RE: nova or 870
I bought a Nova for turkey hunting and hated it. It rattled too much and I could never get it to pattern worth a darn. I tried several different kinds of shells and choke tubes without any luck. I sold it and bought a Remington 870 SuperMag SPS-T. A much better shotgun than the Nova IMO.
I also have a Remington 11-87 SuperMag SPS-T. It is a turkey killing machine. I love it!
