benelli nova or mossberg 500 or winchester 120

sirdiealot · February 20, 2013, 08:34 PM

which would you take,

rcase1234 · February 20, 2013, 08:41 PM

By far, the Mossberg. Have owned multiple 500s for years and I love them as a pump. Not as much as my 870 Wingmaster but they are great all around pumps

sirdiealot · February 20, 2013, 08:45 PM

Between your choices ? The Mossy. (+1)

Mossy for sure! Win 1200 is a fine shotgun as well but nowhere near the versatilityof the 500. JUST MY OPINION GUYS.

dos0711 · February 21, 2013, 02:26 PM

versatility and customizable? Advantage: MOSSBERG

Evan Thomas · February 21, 2013, 03:20 PM

Another vote for the Mossberg. (Although it doesn't seem right, in an internet forum, to have such unanimity of opinion.

)

jmr40 · February 21, 2013, 03:21 PM

I've owned most all of them. I order of preference

870
Benelli
Browning
Winchester
Mossberg 590
Mossberg 500

Never owned an Ithica, but have liked the ones I've handed. I would guess it would be in the top 3 if I had ever given one chance.

publius · February 21, 2013, 04:58 PM

Mossberg, hands down.

Waspinator · February 21, 2013, 05:32 PM

Hmmm...

If it was a Benelli super nova, then I would probably say go with that one. The super novas are very fine shot guns. The standard nova, not so much. But, even if it was a super nova, I would be hesitant... while a better gun then a mossberg 500, there are not many options for customization and the few that there are, it is VERY expensive... barrels included.

Both Benelli nova or Super-Nova models are more expensive then a standard Mossberg 500. So, if it is purely looking at it from a monetary point of view, trade wise, then the Benelli's are the "best" trade.

The standard Nova is about on par with a Mosberg 500 quality wise (debatable, but my opinion). If the trade is for a personal use of the gun, then I would lean towards the Mossberg 500 due to the total cost of ownership for customization over the long run.

I own a Mossberg 500 and I am totally happy with it

LSnSC · February 21, 2013, 06:15 PM

Nova. Much better shotgun than the 500 IMO.

droptrd · February 21, 2013, 08:31 PM

Mossberg. I own 3 and also a 535. I love em

sirdiealot · February 21, 2013, 08:38 PM

im not a customizer. almost all of my guns are hunters or range guns. i truly dont believe a person that tacticals a gun makes the gun better but usually makes the gun worse...on a side not got an email today another guy now wants to trade the smith and wesson for his benelli super nova....why are they wanting this gun...is it because of the 2 14rd mags so they now have high cap mags

Nick9130White · February 24, 2013, 06:09 PM

Nova

rcase1234 · February 24, 2013, 06:17 PM

With your choices te Mossberg. But my favorite pump of all time is an 870. Can't beat it IMO

Rnbtexas · February 25, 2013, 09:34 PM

I have the nova and love it, but it also fits me better than the others you have listed.

wooly booger · February 26, 2013, 10:33 PM

I'd take the Nova, the mossberg is a good gun though.

all high cap Nines are in demand right now, even bad ones like the S&W and high Points

sirdiealot · February 26, 2013, 10:41 PM

well the guy called me today and asked what price i would take for cash....told him i dont like to sell but do trade guns...he asked again what cash price i would take...shot a price of 400. he said he could buy one for 325.00 i told him that was fine then go buy it as i dont like to sell anyway just trade. he asked if i would take the 325.00 he could buy it for and anyway to make a long story short i walked away with 400.00 and to be honest aint happy cause im now a gun short in my collection. dont mind tradeing as i still have the same amount of guns as when i started but now i have to find a gun to replace it with lol
