anybody have a nova with a slug barrel? what do you think of it, is it worth it?
-
I had one. Kicked like a mule and trigger was was junk. Even put a limbsaver recoil pad on it. Traded it off for a Remington 870.

I bought a nova with the pistol grip just to make a slug gun. Ordered the cantiliever slug barrel. Benelli sent me the barrel with iron sights, which I didn't want. Turns out, they discontinued the cantiliever model. Got rid of the nova and just bought a new stock and barrel for my mossberg 835. The nova was a sweet idea that I wish I could have made happen. But I'm happy with my current setup.

I have shot one. I dont what it is but the recoil is awful. And not as accurate as a mossberg...

ULTIMATE SLUG GUN: 12 Gauge Mossberg 535 ATS is what you want - For $400 you get the gun and both rifled barrel and regular barrel in full mossy oak camo. Awesome combo. Add a $60 Cabelas Pine Mt. Scope, Winchester XP3 2100 fps slugs, and a pair of steady sticks and you are driving tacks out to 200 yards. My 14 yr old son got a nice Iowa whitetail at 185 yards with this combo and my brother and I both had success with it also. I have the Bennelli - the barrels - which you can't find - are over $600 alone !

Get a 500 instead of a 535 not really much difference except 500 easier to get parts for.

i went with a slug barrel for my mosberg 835 & like it. fairly cheep set up & acurate. -warning- make sure you get a scope with enough eye relief. slug guns kick. i hear a 20 guage is a great way to go.

Here is my mossberg 835 slug gun. Love it. No complaints.
