veener88 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Well first off I am new to hunting in a way. I have help are hunters track and find places for deer over the years on are land, but only allowed bow. I do know how to gut them. Well they got troupy buck happy and they they do not go after the does. Witch is getting me mad because I have not had a 1/2 deer in the freezer for a while. So I am looking to take up hunting now. This year I just rescued a lab. On are land since we have a pond and creak that joins to a major water way. So that gives me geese, duck, and deer all in my back yard. When I went to my local dealer the said to get the Nova in black with the 3.5". What I am wondering is this right for me? I would like to keep the cost down because of being new. If this gun is right what should I buy with it to make it better or just for care of it? Thanks for any help, [ 07-06-2004, 07:41 PM: Message edited by: veener88 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mule Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Veener 88; You can't go wrong with a Nova. If you don't feel it is the right one in a year or two, sell it and find a model (such as semi-auto, or whatever) which you should try until it doesn't serve your interests any more. You won't regret owning a Benelli.....which reminds me; I haven't hugged mine yet today!...Mule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veener88 Posted July 7, 2004 Author Share Posted July 7, 2004 Thanks. I just wanted to make sure that it was right for that type of use most of all. Sicne I have never owned a gun I am glad to hear they are good. I am sorry but I do not allways trust the sales guys.

Chessie Dog Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I think Mule gave you a good response. I've had a Nova for a few years now. I shoot quail up to Tundra swans in birds. I've also shot deer with it. It gives you a reliable, versatile shotgun for most situations. I also skeet shoot some with it. You can cycle 2 3/4 shells or 3 1/2 shells. I'd also suggest you get a camo gun, easier to keep clean and helps you stay hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chessie Dog Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 To care for it, a can of Rem oil for cleaning the barrel out, a good light oil for the working parts and a sling to help carry it. Maybe a good plastic carry case to keep it from getting beat up traveling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
