BenelliBoy Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I am looking to buy a nova before Ohios Spring Turkey season and was wondering if anyone could give me their comments and/or reveiws on the gun. Also I am trying to decide weather to get it in camoflauge (Timber HD) or synthetic black. If you could please help me I would greatly appreciate it.

tucker301 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I had a 12 ga. in Camo and a black 20 ga. If I were to buy another Nova, it would be in the black finish. The camo seemed to make the action kind of "sticky" on the 12. Go to the store and try both for yourself. Make up your own mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterfowler1 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Great gun. I have a 20 black and a 12 camo. I painted my 20 camo on my own and almost like better than my 12 with the old HD camo. if you are going to be shooting heavy 3.5in loads, get the recoil reducer, it really makes a huge difference. I also put a comfortech recoil pad off of a sbeII on mine, that with the 28in barrel makes it one soft shooting machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhair Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 How is the recoil if you were to use it for 100 rounds of trap in 1 day? It is an 8 lb gun so I assume its very minor recoil for light loads??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurkeyKrazy Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I own a black syn nova. I thought the action was a little noisy,I adjusted the little allen screws a small amount.I thought the black would bother the turkey's but they don't seem to mind it at all. I shoot a H.S and 31/2 Hevi Shot #6 with very good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFLOYD Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 My friend has one and loves it... I have personally seen him stretched out in the mud shooting ducks with both him and the gun muddy and wet...kept firing. I plan to buy my daughter a 20ga short stock version this year. Possibly one for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
