re: Benelli Nova or Remington 870? First time shot gun

I have a Benelli Nova 18.5" tac. Great shotgun especially since it was only about $15 more than a similar 870 and has a 3.5" fully chromed chamber and barrel. Rifle style sights on mine though you can get one with a ghost ring setup for a little more money. Easy to take down and clean and the action has slicked up nicely after being worked a few dozen times. Won't find many accessories for it though.
