The Nova is one of those guns I really want to like. I've had 3 at various times picked up used at good prices like you did. From a functional point they may be the toughest pumpgun made. But I ended up selling all of them.
They are also the heaviest of the pumps which was an issue with the way I hunt. I could just never get comfortable with the way they handled. I have used an 870 for a long time and have started using an older Benelli M-1 for most of my hunting recently. I suppose if I had started with the Nova and had not gotten used to other guns I'd like them a lot more.
You'll probably be very happy with it.
