Guys, I’m getting what is pretty much my first shotgun.
I’ve been involved in the shooting sports for 15 years, but not the shotgun shooting sports .
I have a lightly customized (Armor Tuff finish, Knoxx stock, tritum bead ) 870 express for home defense, but that is it.
This will be my first hunting shotgun. It will be mostly upland doves, with the occasional duck hunt.
Locally this consists mostly of Blue Wing Teals. I also want to try skeet, trap, etc.
I’m leaning towards Benelli because of weather resistance, I live in Puerto Rico, and to call the local weather humid is an understatement. My 870 Express required more care than my dog until I refinished it. I also like the idea of the fiber optic front sight.
I am undecided between a Benelli Supernova, or a Nova in either 12 or 20 g.
Please give me your opinions on what your choice would be and why.
I hear the Nova “rattles”. Does the Supernova too?
Please no flame wars, just a new shotgunner asking for advice.
Thanks in advance guys.
