[Just thought I'd say hello!]

I live in Johnstown, about 1.5 hours East of Pittsburgh! STILL have not got to shoot, due to this damn weather.

[Just thought I'd say hello!]

I first was looking for a Rem 870 marine, then a M4 H20 .... both next to impossible to find. I "settled" on my camo M4 :-)

 

I hope someday that I get to see what shooting a semi-auto shotgun is like. My gun experience is limited to a one time shooting of a .40 S&W handgun, a semi-auto assault rifle, a .243 hunting rifle, and my friends Mossberg.

welcome metal matty...I too am from PA, Benelli rocks !!

 

Thanks! Where abouts are ya from, if you don't mind me asking?

[Just thought I'd say hello!]

I would say if anyone was set on a Mossberg go with a 590, but I would say pick a Remington 870 before the Mossberg. I'm new to Bennili's myself but a big fan so far ... I think the general concensus is lube it good, shoot 100 rounds of heavy duty stuff to break it in and then sit back and enjoy.

 

I was considering an 870 at first as well, but I couldn't agree with where they put the slide release. Bud with the 500 started with the cheapo field model and now it's completely different. I'm happy I went with the Nova though. Hopefully it performs well for me, which I don't doubt it will!

"You Chose Wisely" ..... Welcome

 

Thank you! The guy at the counter in Gander Mountain was trying to steer me away from the Nova because, as he claimed, someone returned a brand new one because it completely locked up. However, the guy was also a major tool so I ignored him.

Sadly I haven't even got to shoot it yet, too much snow to get back to the ranges!

As the title says, just saying hello. My name is Matt. I'm 20 years old and I live in Pennsylvania. I've been wanting a gun for awhile now and was going to save for a pistol for when I turned 21, but decided to go with a shotgun. The choice came down between a Mossberg 500 (friend owns one and loves it) and the Benelli Nova. I ended up going with the Nova.

 

Anyways, I look forward to owning a great shotgun!

 

Have a nice day y'all!
