TMAC Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Depends on what your using it for? waterfowl, upland game, personal defense, deer hunting, turkey hunting?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 what model # did ya get? and aftermarket chokes would be first choice probably! recoil reducer maybe ? cleaning supplies if first shotgun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harwood39 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Its not my first shotgun, i have all the cleaning supplies. I will be using it mainly for upland game and some waterfowl(very little). I will also be using it for deer but with a slug barrel. Model #20006 Just a 12 ga 24" barrel, 3.5in shells, synthetic(not camo'd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Model #20006 Just a 12 ga 24" barrel, 3.5in shells, synthetic(not camo'd) Best configuration for a rifled slug barrell would have been the # 20008 COMBO it comes with the field barrel and slug barrell probably the cheapest way to get both also. Benelli slug barrel is $$$ when purchased on its own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabradorGuy Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I highly recommend the benelli recoil reducer if you're going to be shooting the 3.5" shells. The Nova is a light gun and those magnums kick really hard. A few weeks ago I wrote a review of the recoil reducer and the Limbsaver recoil pad. It should still be in the forum if you go back a ways. Don't forget you have to buy the mounting bracket as well as the recoil reducer. That pissed me off some, but I felt the cost was worth it for the ability to shoot off a box of turkey shells and still be able to feel my arm the next day.

harwood39 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 i wont be doing any slug hunting til next year, so i opted out on the combo for now due to my money situation with opening a business and all. so i have all summer to put extra money a side for the slug barrel. Paid 299 for the gun, and can get the barrel later for 170. I read the review on the recoil reducer. looks like a very good investment.

HOGWILD Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 great price for slug barrel 170.00! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabradorGuy Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Wow, $170 is a great price. Is it a benelli barrel or aftermarket? I remember reading somewhere that one of the companies making aftermarket slug barrels for the nova was doing a real crap job. I can't remember the details but you might want to do some background checking before you buy. I've been trying to get my hands on a benelli factory 18.5" tactical barrel and the best price I can find in Canada is $400. That's just crazy, seeing as how I only paid $450 for the gun. (Canadian dollars) Considering that, $170 is a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 did not know they did aftermarkets for Benelli? 07 Catalog MSRP is 210.00 + Tax& Shipping? which ya can allways get a little off MSRP normally but from what i understand their is such a demand that they have none? sounds like BS but guess they are made in US from what i hear? Good luck on getting one and i am sure a group of others would pay 175.00 in a heart beat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they make a spare barrel for the Nova but it would be worth it to check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
