 Benelli Nova Any reviews welcome on the Benelli Nova pump shotgun. I'm actually leaning towards the 20 gauge version. I have a SuperNova in 12, and it was a good buy. Most 20 autos out there are out of my budget so I've resigned myself to a reliable pump. Other candidates: BPS, Rem 870 express, Mossberg, Weatherby.

Re: Benelli Nova My choice would be an 870. Good price, reliable, and they look alot better IMO. I hear the nova is a good gun, i just don't like the looks of it.

Benelli Nova Forget the 870. New ones are junk blueing is junk so is stain on stocks.
My vote would be nova, have two, or mossberg

Re: Benelli Nova I shoot a nova and love it. My dad shoots one as well and i have personnally watched his hit the water and mud at least 3-4 times a year for the last 3 yrs and every time picks it up dumps water out and keeps shooting. plus the Nova is very easy to break down and get it a good cleaning.

Re: Benelli Nova Real good, the reviews I've read elsewhere are overwhelmingly positive. If it is anything like my SuperNova, I will get it.

Re: Benelli Nova Thank you all. My BPS and the SuperNova both have helped me to become a better more patient and deliberate shooter as opposed to my previous autos. I have a BPS in 20 and it is fun and it patterns great and I need a companion gun to it and I intend to use primarily my 20 next duck season, not for health reasons, but because I hunt close and the 20 is plenty.

Re: Benelli Nova I did get an auto two years ago, and that was a Beretta 3901, and I got that for $599 brand new/in the box, in 12 gauge. That has been a great comfortable shooter and flawless when using 3" magnum steel shotshells on ducks. And, despite some detractors, is easy to shoot. My friend bought a Franchi I-12 and that has given him some problems; that has an inertia action system, while the 3901 is gas. I found a 3901 (now discontinued) in 20 gauge but they want $800 for it, a bit out of my present budget.
