RE: benelli nova
I got a Mossburg 18 years ago. the barrel split by the reciever. They gave me a new one. I never liked to shoot it since. I traded it for a Winchester 1300 Combo (comes with deer slug barrel with rear sights) Alot of gun and differnt kinds of Hunting are offered with this gun. shoots #6 turkey with kicks choke very well. My best friend has a nova and likes it. shoots geese well with the long barrel. I have found the Winchester forearm to be the tightest among the pumps. no rattle. others seem to be a little noisey and sloppy on the forarm pump action when in the chambered poistion. This includes the nova.

Every thing that I have heard about the Novas is that they are excellent guns. I came really close to buying one myself for this upcoming season but opted for a semiauto. Give it a try If you're comfortable with it.

Well if we are honest any shotgun with tight chokes will do the job!! However the Nova has 3 1/2 inch shell capability + it also has a nice high combe making it a nice gun to keep in the sholder whilst aiming.

Personally though I really dont like the nova as it looks like something out of star trex!!!!

Hunting with it may be fine............but patterning it is a bear. It has IMHO more felt recoil than the 835. I don't know about any of the other turkey guns, but I've shot both of these and I bought the 835 and love it.

RE: benelli nova
I have 2 Novas I love them both , one is a 12 ga slug gun and the other is 12 Ga camo set up for turkey. I put a Hi-vs sight on the turkey gun and a Extra full choke. I shot Remington 3 1/2 " # 4 get a great pattern. One thing ! GET RECOIL REDUCER it works. GOOD LUCK
