Reggio Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hey guys, I finally made a decision and went with the Nova Pump...Advantage MAX-4 HD®, 12-GA! I put a deposit down but I couldn't bring it home cause I'm still waiting on Federal papers that allow us Canadians to buy and posses.. thanks for all you help... i cannot wait to bring her home... btw, I paid $700 (tax in) for the camo. I cost $100 more than the black stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggio Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Welcome to the Benelli Family! Hope you are talking 700 Canadian.. Either way Congrats. Ya, 700 CDN - BUT our dollar is basically on par with the US dollar now... 96 cents! the basic black stock is a lot cheaper and I don't know why... $520 (+tax) Is $100 extra for the camo justifiable? I was debating as to whether I should even go with the camo or black... the dealer encouraged me to go with camo. Said it was better for turkey and duck what are your opinions? I can't wait to start firing!!! thanks for your help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowjockey Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hard to imagine that in any instance, that having camo in the field, would be a negative, as compared to shiny black. Camo looks pretty cool anyway and the Nova a a nice shotgun. $100 will seem meaningless in a couple of years, of using an enjoyable gun. I recently puchased a Supernova APG 12GA. I was considering black, but found one brand new in the local ad paper for $400 (the guy won it in a safety raffle at his job). Camo it is!! No regrets here and you won't have any either. Have fun.

tyson129 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Camo is def the way to go if you are hunting Turkeys, because as they say if they could smell they would be impossible to hunt! IE, They can see and hear extremely well. I had a similar scenario with my gun and got my SuperNova Max 4 HD for $375, I gave him $360! Guy did not know what he had, poor basstard. Anyways Congrats on your new gun hope you love it. Send out some pics when you nail those birds! Happy Hunting and be Safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesbb630 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I have the Adv Max 4 for my Duck and Goose hunting. It's a perfect match with my hunting suit, hat and face mask. I almost don't need a blind. I find I stand out more with a blind and it's simply easier to blend with the field. I would never go without my camo. In fact, I'm surprized they even sell any black ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggio Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 A family friend said I should have gone with a semi-auto Benelli. He said for waterfowl (faster) and just plain convenience the semi is better... Plus, it has a bit less recoil Thoughts? I only put down a deposit so I could go with the semi. What is the semi equivalent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowjockey Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Convenience? Somewhere, someplace, there probably is a waterfowler, that can limit out regularly, using a bolt action shotgun. Why not have a little more challenge with a pump? If you find you can't hit anything, upgrade to an semi-auto. Get the shotgun YOU want. A semi-auto will cost nearly double the Nova price.

Reggio Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Well he said he could have hooked me up with a Beretta 301 semi if I'd had waited... I suppose a Beretta isn't a bad alternative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesbb630 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 If you stick with Benelli, go with the Super Black Eagle II. A lot more $$$ however. I would stick with the Nova and upgrade latter. Benelli semis are just easier to clean and take down. This comes in handy when you clean it over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
