Benelli Nova
 
What do you all think about the benelli Nova. Is it any better than the Remington 870? How much would it cost at a gun shop? Thanks.

I have had one for 3 years and it works great. I got mine for $380 on sale but I think they were running about $400 list price. I don't know if prices have gone up. I can't compare it to the 870 because I have not shot one. One thing that the Nova has that I believe is unique is a factory made recoil reducer (which costs extra)that really works when it comes to reducing the kick from those 3.5 inch shells.

apples to apples, novas are bout 150.00 more maybe? i had a rem 870 that i didnt shoot well so i got a nova. i shoot it alot better (probably just because of the fit) i really like it. novas got some goodies that rems dont but go take a look at one. i think they are equally good guns. put one in each hand and make up your mind. i paid 465.00 for mine, realtree camo, 28" barrel, 3 chokes and a box.

Never shot one but a guy I know said they shot well but the forearm rattles like a Mossberg. He said he carried it with the action open so it didn't rattle when he moved in the woods. Don

I paid $324.00 for my Nova with the camo and the black sells for $274.00 . That is the everyday price for the Benelli Nove at a local gun store .The 870 runs just a bit more on the everyday price . If you live in Oregon that would be at the BiMart stores .

looks like im going to be paying a visit to my local hunting store tomorrow. Gonna check out what his prices are. Also will probably stop by the other gun store and see if he has anything new and see what it could cost to order one. Thanks for the help
