+ 1 On the Nova. Bought mine 10 years ago. It fits me perfect. Toughest gun I've ever owned. The 3 1/2 feature is nice if you ever need it. My thought is its better to have and not need, than to need and not have. And when something is happening (birds flying in, hogs or bears decide they aren't going to run) you don't feel recoil. Your brain is focused on the target. Not your shoulder. Now at the target range that's a different story.
