The Benelli Nova Pump-Action Shotgun is renowned for its versatility and rugged design, making it a favorite among hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. Available in 12- and 20-gauge options, it handles both 2.75, 3, and 3.5-inch shells, providing flexibility for various shooting needs. A standout feature is its lightweight polymer and steel-reinforced receiver, which enhances durability while keeping the shotgun light enough for easy handling. The rotating bolt system with dual action bars ensures smooth cycling, allowing for quick follow-up shots—an essential feature for waterfowl and upland game hunters. The Nova’s barrel lengths range from 24 to 28", and it is equipped with fiber-optic front sights for clear visibility, even in low light conditions. Its synthetic stock includes an optional recoil reduction system, making it easier to manage heavy recoil from magnum loads. The shotgun also features a magazine cutoff button, allowing the shooter to quickly unload without clearing the entire magazine—a useful feature when transitioning between different loads. Weighing between 6.4 and 8 lbs depending on the configuration, the Nova is robust enough to handle demanding conditions while offering a comfortable shooting experience. Standard features include interchangeable choke tubes (IC, M, F) and a wrench. Optional features offer additional choke tubes (C, IM) and extended choke tubes (C, IC, M, IM, F), tailored for various shooting scenarios such as pass shooting (IM), waterfowl hunting over decoys (IC), and turkey hunting (XF). These features make the Benelli Nova a versatile and durable choice for shooters seeking both performance and resilience in diverse conditions.
