RE: Benelli Nova?
The Nova is a great gun and a good buy IMO !! Great shooter ! I don't know about now.......but a few things I considered as compared to a Rem. 870 super mag or the 3.5" Mossbergs..... 3 years or so ago when I bought mine was that the Nova for the same money came with 3 chokes and intergrated sling swivels ! Neither of the others had that back then (they came with a single choke & no sling swivels) !So additional chokes and swivels were going to push those significantly over the Nova in Price !! Also the Nova has that neat unloading button that when your about half ejected ......you push a button on the stock and it unloads the chamber but doesn't cycle another shell..........I have found that more useful than I originally thought ! And being a Benneli ........the re-sale is great too !

I am a big fan of the nova as well. Nothing fancy about it, which is pretty much what I am looking for in a shotgun. Tighten up the forearm rattle with an allen wrench and you solve the only problem that I have found.

RE: Benelli Nova?
I got a Nova for turkey and waterfowl and I love it. The one piece glass reinforced polymer stock and receiver will not rust and the camo coating on the barrel will not rust. It has more features than the Remington and Winchester and it is cheaper. I highly recommend the Nova. Field stripping is very easy as well requiring no tools.
