MetalMatty Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 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! [ATTACH=CONFIG]1915[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalMatty Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 "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!

M4-Desert Camo Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4-Desert Camo Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 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 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Zeke Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Thanks! Where abouts are ya from, if you don't mind me asking? Northern Pa, Lawrenceville....it's right on the PA/NY border. Sure am glad I'm on the PA side right now and not the NY side, if you kmow what I mean. LOL I go to Gander Mountain on occasion, I was there about 3 weeks ago and bought a 750 rds of 9mm. They are still expensive on some things. Anyways where do you live?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
