DeerSlayerNova Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I am pretty upset with my nova, this summer i took it to the range and fired 4 rounds through the slug barrel and the gun would not eject the last shell, i was using brenekke 2 3/4 slugs, so this deer season i took the bird barrel with me and used winchester 3 inch mag slugs for it, a deer came running past about 60 yards out and i took four shots and hit the deer 3 times all were very clean shots right behind the shoulder, But as the deer crashed into brush and bramble and i was about to shoot again, the gun jammed and i had to get the shell out of the gun by jamming the butt into a tree while holding the action release and pumping the gun. Is this typical break in for a new barrel? As of right now i am ready to take the gun back, but was looking for some in-put, any advice will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallhanger54 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Ive seen it happen on a few of these barrels. It mainly happens on 3" or 3 1/2". Probably just needs the chamber to be polished out a little bit mainly at the breech. Used a flexi-hone on a few, works like a dream.

Novadude Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I am planning on using my nova for deer season and most my shots will be out of a tree stand at within a 100 yards and I was looking at ammo and the barrels for my nova and was wondering what kinds of setups you guys prefer.

DeerSlayerNova Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 personally i prefer the cantilever slug barrel with 3inch mags, with a scope, this is the main reason i bought the gun because it will accept the mags, and has a flatter trajectory. Once sighted this gun, is very accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
