Benelli Nova 12G

Saw a used unshot Benelli Nova 12G going for $275. Good deal? Should I.....pull the trigger (rimshot on bad pun).

Don't waste any more time. Get it now or mourn later.

If you like the gun, and if it has the barrel length you want that is a better than fair price. If it includes all 3 choke tubes. Those sell for about $400 new, anything under $300 is a good price used, assuming it has all the accessories. Choke tubes can get pricey and if it only comes with the one in the gun wouldn't be nearly as good a deal.

I've tried very hard to like those guns. I've owned a couple and love all the features. Until I start carrying it in the field and shooting it. Not something I can easily explain, but they just don't work for me.

I think I understand what you mean. I have had one for several years now and the subjective handling for some people might take some time to adapt to. Too, I will never get used to the subjective looks-they're shotguns in Glock drag.

But, objectively, mine has been very reliable, ultra-smooth to operate and the controls are in the right places for me. Finally, $275.00 for an unfired Benelli Nova is a fabulous price. Don't dawdle, op...
