This was my first purchased shotgun. Bought it at basspro and was talked into it. I was looking at a something that was a semi-auto that was a good deal. I asked the guy behind the counter if this was a good deal. He asked if I needed the semi- and said if I did't need it, then the Nova is a MUCH better pump for the same price.

He explained that with lighter loads for shooting clays (I'm still learning) that the supernova and the gun I was originally looking at sometimes have difficulty loading the next shell. seemed to make sense.

I haven't had any jams and I've gone through 25 or so light load boxes at the range. I do recall you can't be wimpy with it, you have to pump it with some authority.
