I own and have hunted with a Nova and had no problems with it. To be honest I was actually impressed by it. My son now uses it and loves it. I have been lucky enough to use all three of the shotguns you mentioned and all functioned well. My "disclaimer" to that statement is that I'll never buy another 870 Express, the 2 I have owned were low quaility and not as reliable as the Wingmater IMO. If you can I would suggest trying each and seeing which fits you best. I loved my BPS but it did not fit me as good as the Wingmaster or Nova, hence I don't own it anymore.
