I have had the opportunity to hunt with the 870 a couple times and no complaints. I have not held or shot the nova. It seems there are a lot more 870's on the market and lower in price so it would be easier to get a good deal on one.

What specs do y'all recommend?
Barrel length - if it matters I'm 6-1 210
Shell size capacity
Interchangeable chokes
Or anything other things I should consider

Barrel- get whatever length feels better

Chamber-3" so you aren't tempted to waste money on bazooka shells.

Chokes- screw in a modified and kill everything.
