I'm gonna end up with one of these guns before turkey season.
*Both have screw-in choke tubes.
*The Nova can handle up to 3&1/2" magnums, I don't know if Saigas can take even 3"mags
*Both are offered in camo
*the Saiga would be faster and softer shooting, since it's an automatic
*the Nova, although more powerful, is slower to reload
*the Nova has a spot for a mercury recoil reducer
*the AK would be dead reliable, but the safety is noisy
*the Nova would be dead reliable too, but the pump rattles (probably easily took care of with thin weatherstripping)
*the Saiga would have to be adjusted for different loads
Am I leaving anything out? Do any of you have experience with either of these?
