I own both a Mossberg 500 24" ported barrel in camo and a Benelli Nova 24". I like both guns very much and they have both taken a good bit of game. Though I like the Nova better. So far it is more reliable. This is my second Mossberg and the second one to have problems. I don't have a good batting average with Mossberg

Though the bottom line is you... Which one feels better to you and you are more comfortable with? That will be the gun for you.
