Hey guys,
I was on here earlier this week and posted about the 935. I have recently just went to the kansas boat and travel show, and signed up for a benelli nova, I got the call last night to inform me that i won the gun. So I have a nova in my arsenal know, should i keep this gun for a couple of years or should i trade it in on a new gun? Give me some ideas and if i shold trade it in on a gun what should the gun be? Thanks

I got one last year and really like it. It pumps shells very fast. You can shoot it as fast as an automatic. I have shot an automatic for like 7 years and got it for some variety. It's a matter of personal preference.

locked- congrats! Nothing better than a free gun. If the gun fits you, I would keep it. I had a Nova, and though it shot very well, mine was very problematic. I finally got discouraged and sold it. That doesnt mean they are all that way. I hunt with a guy that has one that he wouldnt trade for anything, and its been problem free. Of the two, the Nova or the 935, I would prefer the Nova myself.

locked congrats man. If you don´t have a pump action and it fits you keep it. The Nova is a nice gun. One of my friends has one and I have tried it and love it. In my opinion it is a much better gun than i.e. the 870 Express which is one of my guns.

i can honestly say that i have never ever had a single gripe with my nova in the 4 years i have owned it, and trust me i use the heck out of it!

Cool!!! The Nova is possibly the best pump gun around (opinion). I tested one for a full year and never cleaned it other than to clear the barrel of obstructions that might be dangerous. Not one problem! Additionally it disassembles in nothing flat, and the finish is real tough for rust to stick to. I liked it so much and shot it well enough to buy a second Nova. They really are one tough gun and priced right at $300.

Hey, You know I've droped mine in the marsh pulled it out and was shooting ducks 15 min later. I'm happy with mine, but a auto would be nice. If you do end up with a auto, don't get so hot, you're too good for me and daniel. You got to think of us unfoutunate ones ya know, lol.
