Kicking around the idea of a new Turkey gun. My old 835 has done its time, its pretty worn out and it failed on me last year. I am considering a nova or a P350. Anyone have experience with either of these? What are the major differences? I own a M2000, for duck hunting and love it, Stoeger makes a great gun.

I've held both and the nova seems to be a more solid gun, I'm looking to buy a gun to last a while. Thoughts?

I own a solid black Benelli Nova with a 26" barrel and i love it. I have it paired with a Jellyhead choke and i get some awesome patterns with it. I have never shot the Stoeger, only held it in stores, but I can vouch for the Nova and say it is a very solid and reliable gun. My only complaint is the original recoil pad with the gun was poor, so i replaced it with a Limbsaver. Pump guns and 3.5" Longbeards are hard on a shoulder.

I think I will get reliability out of both but I think the longevity will come with the nova. Thanks everyone for the input. Still not 100% decided. Will post what I decide.
