About the Benelli Nova
The Benelli Nova is an innovatively designed pump-action shotgun featuring a one-piece receiver and buttstock molded from fiberglass-reinforced polymer over a steel skeleton, creating an exceptionally strong and lightweight platform. The 12-gauge model handles loads from light target to 3.5-inch magnum, while the 20-gauge shoots shells up to 3-inch magnum.
The Nova's revolutionary monolithic receiver/stock construction made it nearly indestructible, earning it a reputation as the toughest pump shotgun on the market.
