Not cool!

Welcome to the forum and to hunting. I've used a Nova for turkey hunting for 2 years now. It's a teriffic turkey gun. It's my opinion that scopes on a slug gun are over-rated. I've hunted deer for over 20 years with shotguns and muzzleloaders without a scope. Admittedly, most of my shots are within 75 yards. I think open sights are fine within those ranges. I hope this helps' John

Bet he won't do it again. A painful lesson is a well taught lesson. John [ 03-17-2006, 11:36 PM: Message edited by: john1911 ]

Sweeeeet! John

If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough. John

Awesome pics. Great buck.

You have found the answer, Tucker301. Now if we can get Bennelli to ship us several thousand, we can get to work on volunteer roster and post assignments. Ought to put a serious dent in the problem.

Just load up in dumptrucks and cart back across the border. Let their own country worry about them. Maybe if the next wave had to bury them, they wouldn't be in such a hurry to cross. John

Coyotes and buzzards gotta eat too. Sign me up for a month. I'll bring my .223 varmint rig. .223 ammo can be had really cheap.

OUR GOVERNMENT HAS TO STOP THE FLOW OF ILLEGALS! All of the posts above show the reasons why. These people are commiting a crime by entering this country illegally. This makes them all criminals! They all need to be treated as such. Instead of giving them medical care, education, housing etc. , we should ship them back! There are ways to enter this country legally. I don't have any problems welcoming people who enter legally and prove useful to our society ( just learn to speak English !). John

If it walks, flies or crawls (& it's legal) I'll take a shot @ it w/ my Nova.

Hey Super Sport, They've done a great job of killing each other for thousands of years. Don't Blame America for all the trouble in the Mideast. John

Remy you are absoluletly right. The illegals are costing this country way to much. It would be interesting to know how much of each of our tax dollars go to providing services to illegals. Any body have any numbers? It's a LIE to say the illegals do jobs citizens won't do. There have been times I would have gladly taken a job that's been stolen by illegals. John

I've had the same experience w/ my Nova when shooting 3.5" turkey loads. Didn't open enough to eject shell, but about half way. Was shooting over sandbags and didn't have a firm grip. It has been my experience that almost any pump will open somewhat under similar conditions. John

Wouldn't it be great if the politicans would control the borders? Surely we have enough military assets available to patrol our borders. If a group of volunteers w/ lawnchairs and binos can stop movement in a portion of AZ just think what battalions of armed servicemen could do. John

Amen

You raise some valid issues tucker301. We are stuck in a terrible quagmire in Iraq. Do they want democracy? Probably not enough to give up ancient hatreds. Are they better off with Saddam gone? Sure they are. Is it worth the cost? Time will tell. I feel terrible for the families that lost loved ones, but they did volunteer to serve. The service people are true heros and deserve our gratitude! I know this isn't a popular position, But the war would have to happen sometime. All the fanatical leadership in the Mid-East hate us americans. Don't know why, but they do. I'm glad this administration decided to do something instead of appease,appease,appease as the Democrats seem wont to do. I think any group that will hold any right in such low esteem will eventually hold all rights in the same low esteem. John

Yes, I honestly believe that. No one has ever heard of a "Bush Gun Ban" have they? I live in IL and my 2nd ammendment rights are under attack every day by "King Rod" and his Chicago liberal cronies. Yes, I believe it, I see it every day! John

The current administration is far from perfect, but if the last two elections had went the other way, we wouldn't have time to visit on this forum. We would be out hiding our Benellis and all our other guns from the liberal Dems. John

I use the factory full tube & #6 Hevi-Shot 3.5 inch. Patterns as well as my kicks tube and saves $40-$50. John

I've got a Kicks tube. I'm not sure if it's a Gobblin Thunder. It say's Kick's GT .660 on the tube. John

Thanks for the info tjm. I'll give it a try. thanks John

The guy was an idiot. He got what he deserved. I just hope he didn't make the bear sick! John

Thanks for the info. Gave up on Remingtons several years back, poor fit & finish. Guess I'll have to try an auto to find the perfect turkey gun. Thanks, John

Is there any way to take the shake and rattle out of the nova forend?
