BenelliBoy Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I am looking to buy a 20 gauge towards the end of september and i was wondering which one is better.In your opinion.. I hunt Deer,Turkey,Ground Hog,Phesant,Squirrel,Rabbit,and i shoot clay birds,and targets.I hunt crow and waterfowl once in a while.. The prices at the local dealer is 870 Wingmaster 20 gauge-439.99 and i think the 20 gauge novas are like 300 in synthetic and like 350 in camo.. i am leaning more towards the 870 Wingmaster.. If you can help i would much appreciate it.. thanks.. Later, BenelliBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chessie Dog Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I've owned both and both are good guns. I'd go with the Nova, it comes with eyelets for a sling, three choke tubes and a five year warranty. If I'm not mistaken, the 870 has a one year warranty and no eyelets and one choke tube.

upland04 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 The 870, like most auto and pump guns has the safety at the rear of the trigger guard. The Nova's safety is forward of the guard and would definitely take some getting used to.................just a thought....................Upland04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldeyeslayer Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I personally feel the wingmaster is a better weighted gun. The nova feels a bit barrel heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I've got both and I'll say that I'm biased to my Wingmaster but, the Nova has been doin' fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenelliBoy Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 i am trying to decide weather to get the 870 Express or the 870 Wingmaster. I am also trying to decide weather to get a 12 gauge or a 20.. i am not sure. I like 12's and i also like 20s . if ya could help me out that would be great. later, benelliboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
