Try to shoot one with 3.5 load and then decide. Some people can handle the recoil different. I'm 5'8" and 200 and the recoil doesn't bother me. I let a guy who his 6'2" and 280 shoot it, he said thanks but no thanks.

Nova comes in 3 1/2 inch at no extra charge, has a chrome lined barrel, has a molded stock/ reciever, has sling mounts, has capability for a mercury recoil reducer, has a shell cut off switch, has an easy disassembly of the action (two pins knocked out with the barrel endcap tool and the action drops into your hand), has a fiber optic type front "bead" has a second bead on the rib. The 870 doesn't have ANY of these features.

You boys seen this yet? http://www.benelliusa.com/media/Upload/Benelli/Product-Photos/SBE2MAX4.jpg Hmm... not sure what to make of the stuff in the stock. I can see they used the nova sling mount in the stock (i liked it better than the SBE anyway). The barrel and receiver look the same to me. Now the forearm is really different and the end cap. I really need to swing one. I like the narrow forearm on the SBE.

Too much gun for a nine year old. Not only will the recoil be more then he can handle but its a big gun. Look at a ladies or youth model or the 391, its a kitten.

**** Benelli, I just got my SBE this fall and tricked it out pretty good and now there is a new one I have to get. Lets see some picts and when is it going to be out? Brad

Someone sent me this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3624148968&category=36258 http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=5798 I found this at Numrich SUPER BLACK EAGLE Bolt Handle, 12 GA., Round Style http://www.e-gunparts.com/product.asp?chrProductSKU=740150&MC=

M1014: Thanks for the reply, So M1 Practical eh? Hmm... now where to find one. Thx again.

I want to see a 10 ga. Nova with the built in recoil reducer.

Check gunbroker.com i used to see them there, but man it ain't gonna be cheap.

I swung a Sport II this weekend, wow, I would look at this gun very hard.

What do you think of the xcoil? I think I am gonna get one once I get my SBE.

Does anyone know if the round bolt handle from the M4 will fit in a SBE? thx

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Like someone said above, i got mine back within the week.
