Groovy.

Needs wear marks.

Enjoy....

Bigjim3 · November 16, 2009, 10:04 PM

Very nice.. and a good price

bcarver · November 16, 2009, 10:22 PM

good price
I assume 12 ga but is it 3 or 3.5".

2002gti · November 16, 2009, 10:59 PM

3.5

Looks like a nice gun. I have always liked the Benelli's!

booker_t · November 19, 2009, 10:25 AM

Looks sharp!

What's the capacity?

2002gti · November 19, 2009, 10:54 AM

4+1 , i have a +2 extention on the way. that and a buttstock shell holder is all this piece will see, not like an AR - the mods never end.

I heard somewhere an extension on an imported gun is illegal. I know I'm probably mistaken, but what's the deal? Do they mean it's illegal to SHIP them from factory with one or what?

Nice Nova though. I used to think they were uglier than sin, but I've slowly grown to appreciate and even want one. I plan to make a Nova my woods/all weather/bear/coyote shotgun. Basically my "good ol boy" gun. No extension, just a carry sling. 4+1 is more than adequate in all honesty and is probably much lighter in the field for it.

I've had my eye on this gun for some time now and I know that I should purchase it but I already have a Mossberg shotty and need to add another handgun first. I know you'll enjoy this gun.

2002gti · November 19, 2009, 11:41 AM

the mag extention law is for imported semi auto guns, pumps are gtg

colostomyclown · November 19, 2009, 11:46 AM

weird. I saw fully extended m4's at Cabelas, like 5 or 6 of them. If you buy a semi without the extension, I assume it's legal to add an aftermarket extension?

bigghoss · November 19, 2009, 09:43 PM

bi-mart up here has them with the sweet ghost ring sights. I'd love to get one to go with my mossberg persuader 500 and my 870.

they also have a fixed pistol grip buttstock and a collapsible one too but I'd get the standard like yours.

jgcoastie · November 20, 2009, 01:07 AM

That fixed pistol grip stock you speak of is very, very nice... Had the tacti-cool model with fixed pistol grip stock and ghost ring sights... Sold it b/c I didn't use it.

here it is all done up with my 1300
