CanadaKiller bought my Remington 870 from me and i got smart and got a Benelli Nova, which im sooooo glad i did!!

[guns]

Oh **** no!!!! Benelli i think is the way to go!! you got the weight, recoil reducer, overall i would take the Benelli over the Remington

[Benelli 2004]

Yeah i was wondering the same thing myself. Im interested in what they have to offer in 2004!

[nova shotgun]

The Benelli has a optional recoil reducer that is a great investment because it takes a lot of the bite off of those 3.5". The benelli i think is a better investment. it is all around a great gun. i have owned both and now have the Nova

I have not had any problems what so ever with my Nova. I hunt in cold weather and it does fine. You must have oiled it wrong or something i don't know but mine sure seems to do just fine!!!

[how far should I lead??]

Well man there are many things that come it to play when leading a duck. Wind, Speed of bird, and other things. But what works best for me is to lead them in a swing and pop the shot off as you pass its head.

Geeze i hunt is zero degree wheather with Nova and i have never had a problem with it!! The only thing i could think of is how much oil is used because water and then it freezing may gum up some things like the other guy said.

[how long into the year do you all waterfowl hunt?]

I hunt as much as the season will let me. The early season is great but like you said the later season gets a little chilly and the birds are very shy. Here i have seen that as they start to get shy they mostly fly for a little bit in the mourning and by mid day they are in the deep water all puddled up. But i guees that is just all part of why hunting is a sport!!! Here in northern ID the birds seem to find a spot and stay there so its pretty easy to pick a good spot..

[how is the benelli nova???]

me and my dad are debating on several guns to get for waterfowling. I like to hunt geese and ducks ....so I like the 3 1/2 capabilities of the nova.........is the benelli good???How does is hold up???/ Does it shoot nice???/

 

Thanks

I acutally just bought a Nova and i went out duck and goose hunting and it is the best gun i have had yet!! i recently had a Remington 870 and that was a good gun but really the Benelli is the way to go. The shell stop is a great feature as is the recoil reducer for the bit of those 3 1/2's. The Nova is the very best pump action shotgun i have had a chance to shoot and this is the best gun i would recomend!!
