This has probably been brought up a million times but how many people use one? Just wondering how it performs as an all around shotgun for dove/ducks/geese/cranes? Pro's, cons?

Naturally they've gone up in price, but mine was the best $300 I've ever spent. Took it everywhere and abused it and it keeps on ticking. Even dropped it in a salt water marsh before. Nothing a hosing down at the lodge and cleaning the next week didn't remedy.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

i have one...it's a good all purpose shotgun....what i like about the Nova the most is it's lightweight and handiness...it's easy to put a sling on it and carrying it in hard or nasty terrain ....i really like mine for predator or hog hunting just for those reasons

I would rather shoot my Nova when shooting trap/skeet than my 1100. Fits like a glove and shoot it better. I've abused mine and it's been indestructible.

Got one I've used for ducks and doves, always works great and shoots great.

Got one and love it, especially because it'll shoot 3 1/2" shells. It's a bit heavy for upland birds and clay pigeons, but don't let that stop you from getting one - it's a great all-around shotgun.

I just picked one up today and can't wait to use it in a couple of weeks on some long beards.

I bought one two months after they came out, sold it 3 months later. Worst shotgun I have ever owned. Loose, Rattled like it was going to come apart, horrible duck gun. Went back to my 870 and Browning BPS only pump guns I need.

I love mine. Had it about 4-5 years with about 2k rounds through it with zero issues.
