NOVA® is not like any other 3 1/2-inch chamber shotgun!
NOVA® is NEW to the core

 

    Nova® is obviously different from al other 12-gauge slide-action shotguns in style and material. The stock and receiver are one piece. Molded together using glass reinforced techno-polymers, the material provides the structural integrity for the stock cavity and pistol grip and the durability rugged enough to house the embedded steel cage to form the receive.

    Mono-block polymer insert injection molding allows a smooth, flowing pistol grip design; a design that lends comfort and a natural fit to any user's hand. Held barehanded or gloved, the molded grooves perpendicular to the grip contour offer maximum control. Access to the stock cavity requires simply pulling the heavy-duty recoil pad off with a twist. Inside the stock, the shooter can easily install the optional recoil reducer housing and reducer to tame the recoil of the heavy 3 ½-inch loads for 12-gauge shells. The additional weight can also be used to change the center of balance of the firearms.

    The proven Montefeltro rotating bolt design and double action bars from the forend travel smoothly and freely against the synthetic coated metal surfaces within the receiver. Rounds lifted into line by the free-floating carrier are fed into and locked inside the steel barrel chamber by the two steel locking lugs on the bolt head. Lie rounds are locked securely in a proof-tested steel enclosure for firing.

    The molded forend incorporates the groove grip design. A unique performance feature built into the forend allows you to unload the chamber or change rounds without a shell feeding from the magazine tube. Depressing the "mag stop" button when opening the action interrupts rearward travel of the forend short of engaging the shell release of the magazine. Change the round, close the action and fire. The forend is long enough to extend beyond the front edge of the receiver and offers more holding space to prevent pinching t\your palm when working the action.



   

    NOVA® , Built with ultra-lite technoplymers defies the elements and the scrapes, scratches and gouges that destroy metal surfaces. The design and manufacturing technology gives full consideration for shooter safety, comfort and control. The NOVA® shooters will take into the field meets the average shooter's requirements in both dimension and weight.

    Chrome-lined barrels with a ventilated rib or slug barrels are nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel for strength and durability. The 24-, 26- and 28-inch ribbed barrels have light-gathering front bar sights and the 18 1/2-inch slug barrel has open adjustable rifle-type sights.

    Before Benelli entered this most popular repeating shotgun market, slide-action shotguns were all alike using traditional material and "me, too" features. Now there is NOVA® ..a very different slide-action shotgun from Benelli-the manufacturer of shotguns knows for performance.
