IMO anything with the Benelli name on it can be trusted to be relieable. Of course I do own a Nova and Love IT! I would recomend it. However I can not say that I have shot 2000 rounds thru it since I bought it 2 1/2 years ago. I have every reason to beleave it will stand up to such use.

Tom Knapp Benelli's spokesman and trick shooter shots alot of rounds and I had the oppertunity at a show he but on thru a gun dealer near where I live to inspect his nova and other shot guns and I tell you what. they were rode hard and put away wet if you know what I mean. the guns where dirty and one of the staff members said they seldom get cleaned and if they do they are hung up and sprayed with brake free and left to drip.......... so take that for what it is worth I guess
