I won a Benelli Nova back in March at the local NWTF Banquet. I LOVE MINE!! It's a great shotgun. Points and shoots great, has been 100% reliable with everything from skeet loads to turkey magnums. The gun is extremley easy to take down and put back together for cleaning, actually the easiest pump shotgun I've ever dealt with. The ONLY thing I don't like about mine is that it isn't camo'd I think a beginner or expert would be satisfied with the Nova.
