20ga Benelli Nova Youth Pump-Action

Unsurpassed Strength & Reliability. Benelli is an Italian firearms manufacturer located in Urbino, Italy and is world famous for producing high quality hunting, military and law enforcement shotguns. At the heart of the Benelli Nova is completely unique and innovative technology that incorporates a lightweight internal steel receiver with an overmolded polymer frame and buttstock-- yielding a single unit with unsurpassed strength and reliability.

Due to its polymer coated receiver and stock, along with proprietary coatings on the action and barrel, the Benelli Nova is considered impervious to the elements. Molded with a rounded contour that slightly swells near the back of the receiver, the polymer shell resists the corrosion, dents and scratches that have a habit of leaving their mark on hardworking pump guns.

The 12.5" length of pull stock is designed for shorter stature shooters. This makes the design second to none and one of the most versatile pump action shotguns ever made.

Italian styling and high-tech ergonomics not only give the gun a pleasing appearance, but make it a delight to shoulder and fire. Distinctive grooves on the pistol grip and forend-- in place of conventional checkering-- provide a positive grip surface that complements the innovative features of the Benelli Nova.

The bolt rides smoothly on dual action bars that prevent the forearm from excessively wobbling or binding. These incredibly long action bars allow the shotgun to reliably feed 3" all the way down to 2.75" shells, while also providing an extended contour forend that successfully accommodates a wide range of arm lengths and hand sizes.

The Benelli Nova is a fast cycling pump, especially when chambering magnum shells, plays no small part in rapidly hitting targets with second and third shots. Rotary locking lugs provide vault- like, tight steel-to-steel lockup by engaging recesses inside the barrel extension, while the receiver remains relatively unstressed as the gun is fired.

The 24" hammer-forged barrel is exceptionally well made and has a high quality Fleurs de Lys proofed steel that is then chrome lined, which provides two major advantages. The first is to ensure that the internal barrel dimensions are perfectly concentric, which greatly enhances accuracy.

The second is to add strength for handling steel shot and magnum loads. The chrome-lined barrel is then proof-tested to a pressure of 19,571 psi. This is 65% greater than the maximum pressure of 3" shotshells, so it provides an ample margin of safety. Three interchangeable flush fit chokes are also included with the package-- IC, M and F. The Nova tips the scales at 6.4 pounds unloaded, and has a non- interchangeable buttstock.

A shell stop button located underneath the forend provides the shooter with a high degree of versatility. In situations where a hunter wants to safely pack- up and transport the shotgun from one location to the next, by engaging the shell stop button, the cartridge can painlessly be removed from the chamber without having another round dropping down from of the magazine tube. This is extremely useful, especially after hunting in freezing conditions where your fingers have gone numb.

Another advantage is when a shooter needs to rapidly switch over to a different load. For instance, in a situation where the hunter downs a duck with 2-3/4" shells, only to discover the bird is wounded and swimming off. Before it has a chance to get airborne again, the shooter can push the stop, eject the empty shell, reach into their jacket pocket and quickly drop a 3" into the chamber.

A large trigger guard accommodates gloves, where the trigger group features a user friendly, dual push-pin removal for cleaning. A stealth- like, matte black finish minimizes detection from waterfowl and other game animals. Though it may not provide the ability to completely disappear like Benelli's advanced camo patterns, the neutral black finish is perhaps even more versatile because it's not specific to certain types of foliage, and blends reasonably well in all geographical regions.

The raised rib barrel features a mid bead with red bar front sight that's visible and gets on target quickly. The Benelli Nova is equipped with a rounded crossbolt safety button that is located forward of the trigger, next to the action bar release lever, and provides the most secure and natural place to keep one's trigger finger. It's easy to maintain an outstretched trigger finger along the action, where a singular downward motion will depress the safety button and puts you in direct contact with the trigger almost instantly.
