  1. I just noticed this model on the Benelli site. Must be sleeping on the job...does anybody know if the stock will take shims? Or is it like the Nova?

    Thanks, Mule

  2. I have two Novas. I put the recoil reducer in the tactical, which I bought for 3-gun shoots. I find it makes the gun more comfortable to shoot but can't estimate the % reduction in kick. It definitely improves the balance of the gun.......that's my bit for now.

     

    I didn't install it yet in my 28" camo , which after a 100 clay sporting shoot, the shoulder is sore and bruised. Transfer from one to the other would be simple. I would also imagine that when you install it, it is critical to have the included hose ( which tensions the mercury tube in the bracket) cut so that it is snug when installed. I could be wrong, but that's the way I did it.

  3. Another update - Although capacity is said to be 4+1, with the 2 shell extension, it will actually take 7- 2 3/4" shells in the magazine plus 1...This was a pleasant surprise. Mule

    Mule, did you get the ghost ring or rifle sights? I just bought the Nova Tactical with rifle sights about a month ago. I'm adding a few things to it and will post pictures when it's done.

    It has the ghost ring rear sight. I also have a 2 shell mag extension as I plan to participate in IPSC 3 gun events in my area. I don't have a digital camera so I can't post a pic, but I don't have plans for anything else added to mine. ..perhaps a sling if I double up for some "relaxed" partridge hunting....cheers. Mule.
  5. Veener 88; You can't go wrong with a Nova. If you don't feel it is the right one in a year or two, sell it and find a model (such as semi-auto, or whatever) which you should try until it doesn't serve your interests any more. You won't regret owning a Benelli.....which reminds me; I haven't hugged mine yet today!...Mule

  6. I just purchased this model. Unlike my Nova 28", there is no threading for chokes. I glanced over the manual for some info on the choke equivalency but didn't see anything. I might have missed something on the barrel? The label on the box mentions slug.

     

    Does anybody know what the choke equivalent for this barrel might be?

     

    Thanks, Mule
