Near Altoona?? That is actually only about 12 miles or so away from me, but I'm not much help, because I've never hunted with them. I have heard good things about them though, and I think they have hosted some big names, if that helps any.
My Nova did the same thing up by the sling attachment shortly after I got it. I bought a bottle of flat black model paint and a small brush. Problem solved. As for those other spots...doesn't look out of line.
Before you bend the barrel, I'm sure there are a number of us on here that would take your reject that you seem to not understand how to operate.
And by the way, there is no "any other comparable gun on the market".
Cool, thanks guys! I saw the (D), but I thought I may need the pass for a bigger bird, and possibly a longer shot.
Thanks again.

Tucker...what about geese w/ my nova, up to 40 yds (at the very most) and w/ 3.5 inch shells??
Youv'e sold me on the Primos chokes, but do I want PASS or DECOY??
