I had a winchester 1300 but when it got stolen I replaced it with a Benelli Nova and it is a great shooting gun with low recoil and it's a 3 1/2 mag. I had originally planned on getting the super nova but the stock has a built on recoil reducer and the guy at the desk at Cabela's said it felt like you had a water balloon on your shoulder and that it took a little longer to get back on birds.
