I purchased a nova about 3 years and i use it for goose and duck hunting. i've shot both guns and i like the nova better, now i use 3.5 loads for goose and im 5'5" and about 140 and i really have no problem with the kick and beleive it or not i've never bruised. i also use it for skeet in the off season. i do not have the recoil reducer in the gun. and frankly i don't want to waste money on the reducer.

Jedd i can totally understand practicing as if your are in the feild but remember you might only get a shot of a lifetime so make it count where you need it to be...and hopefully its hang on your wall!!!!!

Please elaborate I'm not quite sure what you are trying to find out????

Wow!!!!! I'm surprised with that, The ballistics for the 300 are zero at two hundred yard and with that scope you should be able to drive tacks. Im no match shooter either but i think you need a gun rest and really sit down and pratice a little more fine tuning the scope, now dont get me wrong but you should be able to sight the gun in a little better, because there is nothing worse than wasting shells and only crippling an animal with such a good round. Good luck and happy hunting.

I also bought a bennelli last week and after i shot about 3 boxes after sighting it in which took 9 shots at 100 yards. I was very impressed with the accuracy. the groupings were all within 1.00 to 1.25 inches. The scope is a leupold varix 3 3.5 x10 illuminated reticle. The r1 is the .300 win mag with the 24 inch barrel and the ammo was 180 grain accu tip boattail by remington [ 01-06-2004, 09:27 AM: Message edited by: war eagle ]
