I won a gift card to the retailer of my choice, so I chose Cabelas!

Very cool.  Thanks for the review.

Would your employer like to buy one for me too?

I've always wanted a Benelli M3 (Semi Auto/Pump) but could never afford one. I thought this would be good way to blow $400. And I really had to debate between this or one of the Winchester 1897s they had for $350. I figured that I could either spend $400 on a brand new high quality shotgun with ghost ring sights or $350 on a shotgun that could be 80+ years old and showing obvious signs of aging and wear. I'll give it a chance then see. Anyone have any experience with the Nova series. I know from just handling it the last day or so it's a bit weird in it's length of pull.

Some people tend to short-stroke it, possibly because the the stroke is a bit longer than an 870 and muscle memory is real.

Very Sweet! That's a nice sight package. Not that sights are super important for a defensive shotgun, but what a nice shotgun.

Congratulations.

Look fwd. to a range report.  00Buck to Slugs.

OBTW,.....It's an "evil" black shotgun... ;)
