[email protected] Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I was looking into buying an o/u for skeet shooting but found nothing I liked in my price range. Then I came across Benelli. I always thought they were to expensive until I looked at their website and found the Nova and Supernova. My question is should I buy a 12 gauge or 20 gauge. Like I said it will mainly be used for skeet shooting, and possibly turkey hunting. I only weigh in at 155 pounds. I have a Remington Model 870 20 gauge already. I'll probably put anywhere from 50-100 rounds through it at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey hunting you might want to jump up to a 12 gauge. I have 2 Novas (1 12 gauge, 1 20 gauge) and a Supernova turkey. Love them all.

Perry Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have the Super Nova and go through a case of clays a day. I like the comfort tech stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 I was looking for a new gun because the 870 I have is a youth model I bought a few years back to keep behind my seat in my truck. It only has a 20" barrel. I aso have a Winchester 1300 but I am trying to keep it in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuckinFuts Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Get a SuperNova 12 and you wont regret it. I bought myself one for Christmas and have about 900 rounds through it right now with not 1 problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timb99 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Couple of thoughts. Get a full size stock and a 26" vent rib, choke tubed barrel for that 870 and you'll have a very nice 20 gauge pump gun. Try e-gunparts.com Keeping a Winchester 1300 "in good shape?" Unless it has some sentimental value for you, this model gun is not normally considered highly sought after or real high value. Also, guns are made to be used. That's a working man's gun, and they work fine. I'd just use it. For turkey, definitely use a 12 gauge.

chili_rod Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I guess i'm partial to semi's. I would take into account that Nova's are pumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
