The Nova is a nice pump, but the one major problem I noticed with the one I borrowed for turkey hunting last spring was that it rattled alot, I don't know if it was just this one or if the Nova's in general make alot of noise. But when I placed my hand on the pump/slide? to bring the gun up it was noisey. I can't complain since it wasn't mine, but I thought it made to much darn noise and decided against a future purchase of a Nova.

I decided to wait and purchase a semi-auto sometime in the future.

Good Luck
