cbradley399 Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Could anyone recommend a good choke for Nova 12 gauge for turkey hunting Quote
mudhen Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 What barrel length do you have and what size pellets do you prefer? I would think any brand in the .660 range would work fine. Primos Jellyheads get good reviews. Kicks makes good tubes, so does Rhino, Comp-n-Choke, etc. I have quite a few Benelli turkey chokes at home - give me a day to see what I have - I think I can send you one for nothing - my SBE II shoots the Crio choke, so I have no need for so many tubes. mudhen - CA Quote
cbradley399 Posted February 14, 2006 Author Posted February 14, 2006 Wow, that would be great....I just got the Nova , so i really dont know yet on the shot size. I guess 4 or 5's. I got the 26 inch barrel....... Quote
jghoffman12 Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 i shot a fall gobbler with my nova (26" barrel) and a tight wad choke by primos....distance was 44 yards and i used a federal 3 1/2" #6 magshok. don't like to shoot that far but nice to know it will reach that far. Quote
cbradley399 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Posted February 19, 2006 I just shot mine using factory full choke. It sucked. I shot win extended #6 3 inch, had 2 kills but only 7 pellets hit, Hevi #6 3 inch 1 kill 8 pellets hit, also shot 3 half inch #6, 3 kills 6 pellets hit the bird...Yes I had 3 dead birds but I want more pellets hitting...all were at 40 yards...I guess I can try 5's but I think I'll try a different choke.............

TurkeyslayeR Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 I just got my Undertaker HS choke and put it in my nova today and went and tested it out. I shot the Winchester Xtended range 5 shot 3.5 and it threw a very tight pattern at 35-40 yards. tored the birds head all to pieces lol... I also shot federal 3.5 they did real good too but not as good as the winchesters Quote
cbradley399 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 Great, thats the choke I was told to get ,,,so I will thanks...I'll also try the 5's....I was in Kimball, Tn yesterday,,,we saw a Gobbler strutting in the snow off I-24..... Quote
mudhen Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Hey Cbrad, I can't find the box with all my Nova chokes! I'd agree on the Undertaker. Also agree on the Win XR's. For whatever reason, most Benellis seem to like Winchester ammo. mudhen - CA Quote
cbradley399 Posted March 22, 2006 Author Posted March 22, 2006 I got my first bird of Alabamas season with the Nova this weekend...42 yards with Truglo choke and Remington Hevi's 3 "...Tore him up!!!!!!!!!!!!8" beard, 1 in spurs, Quote
crucesman Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 I just got a nova and got a lot of help from reading the posts here and on the NWTF site. Thanks everyone!!! I went with the 24" barrel, and a pure gold, extended, ported tube at .670. I tried a number of different rounds and the federal premium 3 1/2 #6's and remington hevishot 3 1/2 # 6's did the best in my gun so far. It is up to you, but I did a bit better with the hevi thn the lead. As a matter of fact, this morning at 40 yds, I had 213 hits in a 10 in ciclre, with an astounding 44 in a 4 in. Needless to say, dead turkey. I am still waiting on the hevi 13 to come in and am also going to try the winchester extd range (their hevi) and will let you know the results when I try it. Best of luck, but keep in mind, I am simply a noivice at this so if I can find something that works, you should have no trouble.

woodsman2230 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I have a nova and I use the H.S. Undertaker choke. It patterns awesome! Quote
rlbuker Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I just ordered a Rhino Choke tube for my Nova. I hear Rhino is an awesome choke. Little high 99.00 dollars, but if it performs like I think it will it will have been worth it. Quote
147 Grain Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Getting great results with a Benelli Nova pump and HS Strut Undertaker .665 and .675 turkey chokes (only $19.99) shooting Winchester Supreme High Velocity 3 1/2" shells (2-oz. #5 shot). IMHO: The Rhino chokes at $99 and the $39 Primos Jelly Head chokes are probably a little better; budget minded shooters should give the Undertaker a hard look. Steve P.S. Also bought .675 and .700 Undertakers for waterfowl. Quote
hooftrimmer 1 Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 kicks chokes in the older style chokes are awsome .660 Quote
