Title: Best choke for a benelli nova??
Post by: birdyhunter on February 11, 2013, 07:15:40 PM
Decided to switch from my old 870 to a nova. Before I go out and drop $50-60 on a choke I would like to know who's getting the best patterns out of their setup. Thanks in advance!

650 to 660 in a few brands work well.  I like one better then others. :toothy9:

Set up a nova last year for a buddy. After a barrel polish and a Sumtoy .650 it went 241 in the 10" at 40 with h13 2.25 ounce 6s.

I've owned a Nova since they were introduced and over the years have acquired 3 barrels for my gun, 24", 26" and 28". All pattern very well. I normally use 3" shells and the best are the Hevi-13 "Bronze" shells with 2 oz. of #6 shot. I see my best patterns with the SSX turkey chokes that work very well with the tight bores of Benelli shotguns.

Thanks,
Clark
