swiffer26 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I just bought a Nova for Turkey and waterfowl hunting but may also like to use it for Hunting deer in areas I can't take my rifle. I checked out getting a rifled barrel for my nova but cost is to much. So my question is what slug can I shoot out of it now and what choke to use?? I'm very new to the shot gunning and don't want ruin my gun. Also what chokes for waterfowl and Turkey?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNewell Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Is your new Nova threaded for choke tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody6.0 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Pick yourself up some Federal TruBall slugs, I use them out a M2T and M4 with a modified choke with very good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNewell Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 An option for slugs is to try a rifled tube. It is required for good performance with sabot slugs and may (or may not) improve performance with so-called "rifled" (Foster-type) slugs.

API1946 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Whichever barrel/choke ya decide on, consider installing a limbsaver recoil pad. Your shoulder will like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiffer26 Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 yea I hear that on the recoil pad. Thanks for the help. I've been hearing tru-ball slugs are the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
