jlefud Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 i am buying one of the two this week. the camo nova is in my budget. i will have to go with black to get the supernova. Is the supernova that much better? this will be for turkey, yotes, dove and a few pheasent but mainly the yotes and turkey. should i get the super and live without the camo? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishootkittens Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 camo is overrated. It looks nice but you can killl any animal with a black weapon. I turkey hunt with a max-4 hd camo patterned supernova. I have never used a nova but my supernova is the envy of my buddies and its the best and sturdiest gun ive ever owned! its tough and its mean.

movin-on Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 My black Supernova 26" is my 1st shotgun so I can't comment on the Nova, but from everything I have read it is worth the extra $...I went trap shooting with 3 of my friends last week and they all agreed that it was the smoothest pump action that they have ever fired...I paid $389.00 with no sales tax in New Hampshire..I fulltime in a motorhome and purchased it for protection...It just looks nasty...

Novaking Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Both are good. Both are pretty much the same. Both are owned by me. Ones cheaper. Ones not. I would buy the nova and spend the extra on chokes and such. P.S. +1 on the camo. Not worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needinga8gauge Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 go with the supernova.It's built good low on recoil .I got a p-350 sorta the same gun just 2 lbs lighter .I woulda bought a super nova though if i knew barrels were so hard to find for a stoeger lol.Super nova's a 3.5" chamber and has a enlarged trigger gaurd so you can were golves while it's cold but still shoot.And think about it if it wasn't such a great gun then why did Remington copy it with the 887 an weatherby with the pa-459?.(dont answer that).

Dntama Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Get the SN. At least with the SN you can change the rear stock if you wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowjockey Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Buy the gun you want. An extra $100 "budgeted" over the next 20 years is $5 per year. I purchased the newer Supernova APG, because it had advanced recoil supression and looked cooler, than the older Nova, regardless of which one was the "better buy". If the money difference the two models was huge, then that would be a different story. But it's not. Other than the extra money, there is never a time, when having a camo gun, is a disavantage, with any game. Plus camo paint protect gun surfaces better than bluing. You will likely be using this gun for years. Buy the gun you want. Edited February 12, 2010 by Plowjockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hognutz Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Amen.. I agree totally. Buy the one you want. Unless the extra $100 will completely break the bank, get the one that trips your trigger. Both will last a lifetime, and in 10 years, you will forget what you paid for it anyway... Good luck, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fst96ss Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I would just save a little longer and get the camo Supernova. That way you'll have nothing to regret later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
