Title: Help with Nova 20ga
Post by: Danny1030 on April 15, 2015, 12:14:45 AM
Need help with a Nova 20ga. I've volunteered to help a friend's 13 y/old son get his first bird. Not a lot of money to spend on trying choke/shell combos. Question is do any of you have experience with a combo that worked well out of a 20ga Nova. Experience involving the factory full choke would be even better. He had some Rem Nitro 5s we shot tonight. 25yds was max for that combo. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks. I was able to get him some Heavyweight 7s from Bass Pro. We will try them with factory full tonight. Also had a forum member offer to send us an Undertaker tube. Hopefully this will work out for him!!!

Many times those shells like a very clean bore. I'd recommend that you "Deep clean" the bore of that gun to give them their best chance to work well.

Good luck.

Thanks,
