RE: Benelli Nova
I hunted for 15 years with a Remington 1100 magnum and bought a Nova 4 years ago for the 3.5" chamber. Have used it almost exclusively (still love the old 1100!) for the last few years and haven't had any problems. Be forewarned though, mine has a 26" barrel and with the 3.5" shells it kicks like a mule.
