Great deal. I have one just like it. It will reach out and nail a big tom. Wish I could have got mine for that price.

Not for sale fellas sorry.  Anyone know how the nova compares to an 870?  Don't know anyone that turkey hunts with one just asking opinions.

Great deal! I have a nova and like it. They have a chrome lined barrel, don't polish it. Rem doesn't have chrome but can be polished.

Them Nova's, especially the camo ones, are a nice gun. $150 is a steal. They are very durable and shoot straight. The only reason I didn't buy one myself is because of the pump foregrip didn't feel good in my gorilla hands. NICE GUN!!

Novas are not chrome lined and can be polished with impressive results.

I didn't think any Benelli barrel was chrome lined?  I do think most, if not all, are cryo'd though.

Thanks guys I doubt she will be a turkey killer anytime soon.  It will probably be a safe queen for a while.  Only bought it because it was a steal.  I'd like to trade for 20ga.

I bought one about 7 years ago.  I bought the Benelli recoil reducer that goes in the butt of the gun.  I had the trigger worked on by my gunsmith.  Nice and crisp now.  I put Tru-glo sights on it and ended up with a Jellyhead choke...(don't remember the size).  It's a little heavier than my 870, I use it as my "field" gun for maybe out to 40-45 yards.  With Heavyweight 3x2x7 ammo...I get upwards of 240 to 250 pellets in 10" circle at 40 yards.  Nice gun....
