need help with my benelli nova
ok so i know benelli makes a rifled barrel, and i know ithica did, and may still offer a much cheaper alternative. if so where can i find it and if not is there any other alternatives besides coughing up the price of a new shotgun for a barrel.

I put a rifled barrel on my SuperNova couple years back.
When doing reasearch prior to purchase I found quite a few people had issues with the ithaca barrels. Also the Benelli factory barrels were just short of the price for a new gun.
I decided to get a custom barrel from Badger Barrels. Very reasonable price and I am very happy with the performance.

Another option, requires a lot of legwork, but works if you're interested... Contact a local gunsmith, see what he'd give u for parts gun, sans barrel. If the price is right, then buy a used rifled barrel gun, then sell the smith the rest. Yeah, you could just keep the whole gun, but by selling the parts gun, you make back some of your money. I've done this in the past with a Remington 870, a Ruger 10/22, and an AR-15, when I needed certain parts.
