New gun - Benelli Nova!

[Big Al]

Just picked up a 24" barrel Benelli Nova 12 gague in Timber HD camo at Dick's Sporting Goods this weekend. Locals are selling 'em for 450$. The last time I went to Dick's they were 380$. This time they were 350$, and after some haggling with the manager I got the 4-day old display model for 330$.

It seems to be AWESOME. The new camo pattern killer. So far I've got a box of Winchester Supreme 3"mag#4s, and the same thing in 3.5"#4s. Also put on a Hi-Viz TriViz turkey sight.

So what do I need to know about these things? I'm kinda wary about touching off those 3.5". Where can I get a recoil reducer that goes in the stock?

3.5" shells - they scare me too.

i love my nova. i haven't seen one yet in the camo pattern. but even shooting 00 buck in 3(?) inch shells in a tshirt with no extra padding had me coughing trying to catch my breath. yes i'm a recoil wimp

i've heard brownells usually stock nova recoil reducers. i don't have one but a couple of guys that i shoot trap with do and it does make quite the difference.

have fun!
