M.T., I bought a Benelli Nova last year from my Shopkeep because it was "used" but brand new and unfired by its previous owner and was so cheap! I never in my life had even shot a pump gun. My first shotgun was a Remington 1100, 20 gauge Standard Frame, Skeet Barrel which was actually the first gun I had ever bought. I aquired it at the first moment I was legally allowed, the day I turned 18! I still have it today! Now, back to this pump gun........what the hell was I thinking! I actually did use it last year and killed my first ever Turkey. I can't beleive what a clunky, noisy, heavy SOB that thing turned out to be and I found this all out right while I was getting BUSTED by a whole flock of Turkeys while I'm standing completely motionless with the gun shouldered for no less than 15 minutes while these 3 toed turds stood and watched me at 50 yards! I put that clanky pump gun in the closet of my trailer as a "just in case" or what I call my "brother in law" back up gun for waterfowl. I haven't shot it since I blasted that Turkey. I don't know what I was thinking!
Anyway, there's my pumpgun experience for ya!
