I'd like to get a 20 gauge before turkey season this year and have narrowed it down to these two models.  Does anyone have good experience with either in terms of patterning.  I know the mossberg has adjustable sights, has anyone had point of impact issues with a Nova?  Thanks in advance for the information.

my whole problem with mossberg is that rattling forarm. I have a 500c this is probably 15 years old and it rattles like crazy. Maybe the new ones are better?

My mossberg 20 is a turkey killer!  I get 170+ patterns with the IC 555 and Fed HW 7's and as stated above it is made in the USA!

I dont have an knowledge of the nova just stating my thoughts on the mossberg. I shoot a remington 870 and an encore.
