I hunt ducks on the coast. I have an 870 i have shot my whole life. Going to buy the benelli super nova pump before next duck season. I have to have a pump just one of those thing lol. was wondering if anyone had thoughts on their benellis good or bad.

I own 2 semiauto Beneli shotguns and hunt with several that use the Super Novas they all like them a lot and from what I have seen they have had no issues with them

I have 4 semi autos. Best shotguns out there.

Nova is a good gun..

What it is
Not the smoothest action
Not the lightest
Not the prettiest
But probably the most indestructible

Can't speak to the Nova, but ever since 2005 when I bought my Super Black Eagle, my old Rem 1100 has stayed in the safe.

Going to buy me a SBE II in camo, if I can. If i cant, Ill go to Cabelas and get a new one.

The nova is a good gun hunted with one for years until I got my performance shop super sport now the nova never leaves the closet unless somebody else is using it but still a good gun

I have a Benelli Montefeltro auto and love it.

I had a Nova pump and did not care for it. It seemed loose and "rattley" to me. Maybe I got a bad one IDK. I am a bigger fan of your 870 in a pump gun.

If you are stuck on a pump I suggest the Browning bps.. its the probably the smoothest pump action out their.

We own both a 12 and 20ga Nova. They are not ugly...they are "ruggedly handsome!" They fit ergonomically, they are light, they will shoot without fail(with or without mud!)and I really don't know of anything better in a pump shotgun to duck hunt with. Oh, I also own 3 870's that I have had for years. Great guns, but I just prefer the Benellis. They are that good to me.

Probably the best pump shotguns made!

I have a SBE II that I hunt birds with.

I have a Super 90 that is my second line home defense shotgun.

I have a Nova that I hunt ducks and turkey with (mainly turkey). I love it for 3 reasons... 1. it is ugly so I dont care about scares and dings. 2. it was inexpensive so I dont care about scares and dings. Third and most important is it goes boom every time i pull the trigger! I have submerged this gun several times, left it in the rain one night, dropped it more than once and it still works like it should.

If they are better, stronger or slicker than a well used 870, they are GOOD. I would spend the money for more shells. jt

Yeah man i have been totally satisfied with my 870 over the years have not had 1 problem with it, more than anything just want to try out something different.

Thank you everyone for your info! sounds like you all have nothing but good comments about your benellis!

Hey Bull, I understand the urge to try something different. I have a lot of grey in what hair I have left and have owned dozens of handguns, shotguns and rifles over the years. I used to be a member of the gun of the month (maybe week) club. Best wishes, jack

Mine has been flawless.

Thank you JT

I have a Nova and like it fine, keep it tied on front of ATV when pond jumping. I also like my Remington 870, and Mossberg 500. I was given a Remington 31 long barrel with a poly choke, original owner bought it and uwsed it extensively for duck hunting. Guess I would feel comfortable taking any out to a blind or lake. I live between Texoma & Ray Roberts. The old Remington with that 32" barrel and polychoke makes the best paddle in case yours slips from the boat.

Ive got a Super Nova tactical I love the polymer finish on the reciever. IMO better than the 870, don't have to worry about rust or marks and wont fade away. The ghost ring sights are also awesome.
