Reviving this topic to get some opinions on my next gun. Do we have any shotgunners on here?
- 12 Gauge
- Able to shoot 3.5" shells
- Durable and Reliable
- Best Value For The Money
That's basically my criteria. Now, I have it narrowed down to the Benelli Nova and Remington 887. I've got a friend who has an 887 and my dad's got a Nova. I've heard some mixed things about the 887...and Benelli seems to have a good product line with the Nova.
The 887 has the special ArmorLokt coating...I read it described as a "glass-filled polymer coating." In reality, it just makes the thing feel plastic.
I'm leaning toward the Nova....which I can get for ~400$ around here but the 887 is only ~325$
I assume "You Get What You Pay For" applies to Benelli products. I took out the Nova the other day and ran some 2.75" High Velocity game loads through it and I really like the feel for it.
I'm just wondering should I consider the Remington 870 or any of the Mossberg products....
