get a limb saver butt pad for the nova. auto loaders seem to always jam ( Im sure someone is going to get on here and yell about how they have one that does not jam)

Do you have a recommendation on what recoil pad to use? After a full day of bird hunting, my shoulder can get a bit sore from the pounding of my gun.

Should I not say that my autoloaders don't jam? I'd say if they're always jamming then there's something broken or the gun is not properly maintained if I were going to say something, but I won't since you don't want anybody to say that.
With that not said, the Limbsaver pad would likely help you out a ton. What ammo are you shooting? You don't have to shoot 3.5" mag's to kill ducks.

if it did i would take it apart and see what was broken in there or if some shot balls came out of one of the shot shells.

I am not opposed to the side by side but it might be hard for me to only have two shots. I seem to get too excited on the first shot, rush it and then take my time on my final two shots. I am trying to break the habit and do sometimes but others I can't. I would say most my doubles are on shot's 2 and 3. As for the recoil pad, I have thought about them but just worried that it might get hung up a bit in my jacket or wader straps but I am sure I would get used to it pretty quickly.
Are you short armed or long armed? It will lengthen your LOP by a little bit. Doesn't bother me.

You can get the limbsavers that replace the existing but pad on your shotgun. It shouldn't add any length. I put the limbsaver on my 870 that I use for turkey. Made a big difference. I would not pass the opportunity to buy another shotgun if I was in the mood though. I think I am at around 6 now. :)

I have 4 autos and none of them jam. The only shotgun that I owned and could count on to jam routinely was a Rem 870.

Because the guy said... Get a limb saver butt pad, then you asked for a recommendation on what pad to get.
The limb saver is the pad to get.
I assume thats what he meant anyway. I just looked at it as an oversight on your part though.

Ya, I guess I just thought limb saver was a brand and not a specific product. Like if he said, "go buy a benelli" I would have asked which one in particular he liked. My bad.

In the under $600 range I'd go with the Stoeger 2000, I went from a Nova to a Stoeger for some of the same reasons you stated and I love the Stoeger, never had any problems with it from light to heavy loads and I've had it for about 6 years now.
I agree, but it doesn't reduce recoil as much as some other autos. I've only had it for the last month of last season, but I've ran about a case of shells through it (mostly target loads) and haven't had any jamming issues after the first box. Also, Stoeger has a 3000 out now that shoots 3 1/2 inch shells that I will be picking up prior to next season providing I have the money.
