I really don't have a dog in this hunt as I don't hunt with pumps much anymore. There's a Nova in the safe, but that was my brothers and will be my sons very soon. I have a BPS 10 and I'm getting too old and fat to lug that around. But all the guys I hunt with that carry Novas swear by them. They don't treat their guns very nice either. One guy had a rattle in the fore end and found a fix on the internet , but I think that's pretty much standard for these guns. I have NEVER heard of one breaking down in the field. Same can't be said about 870s. Broken springs, followers, lost plugs, trigger mechs, I've heard it all. There's a reason these Italians have been in the gun business for over 500 years.
I run Benelli and Beretta semi-auto myself and have never had any problems. 1000s of rounds. Swamps, fields, lakes, potholes, skeet, trap, sporting clays, all good to go. Which reminds me...I should clean em after last hunting season.
