Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

I've never had a turkey,deer,duck,goose or any other critter spook from the fore-end rattle.I love mine-fits great,shoots great,and looks real good,too.

Mossberg's seem to rattle alot too...

I don't care much for the Benelli Nova we got...it's light and all that...but I just can't get used to it. You'd think that they'd figure a way to tighten it up somehow, must not be that big of a problem or they'd already have fixed it, hopefully it won't mess up any hunts for ya.

I used one for the first time last year. The forearm will rattle, but it wasn't a problem for me. I also use one of those gun rests that strap around youe knee, that helps out no matter what gun ya' got. I'll use it again this year.

have any of you who have the nova, tested chokes and loads ? I can not afford to buy a bunch of each to field test to see which one shoots best so I am hoping one of you already has. please let me know

I use a Tru Glo extended strut stopper, 3.5 inch Winchester #5 and the 2.5 oz load. It has produced very nice results for me out to 40 yards. Good luck!

I tried the Undertaker by H.S. Thank god I got my money back. Not only did the pattern stink, but the tube wanted to bind-up in my barrel. Ended up with a Tru-Glo Gobble stopper. I like it, plus they ran a special, choke tube and Tru-Glo sights for like $30 bucks.
Winchester Supreme's 5 or 6 shot seemed pretty compareable. I also used 3.5" shells... I won't be this year. 3" will do the job, plus your shoulder will feel better after sighting in your gun!

Every pump gun I've ever used or handled has rattled. It won't make a lick of difference in the woods. My Remington shotguns always rattle if you grab them by the fore-end, so does my Rem 7600 deer rifle. The eight whitetails I've killed with it haven't commented on hearing any rattling......
