I'd get the stoeger 2000 if you not going to use your more pricey gun out in the field. I think the benelli is over priced and as for the nova, Why not get the stoeger P-350. Cheaper and nicer, I have a brother-in-law that has a nova and he kept haveing loading problems when we did some sporting clays. enough problems to make me not want or even think of a benelli now.
