the nova is not an indestructable gun! haha ive had problems with it like slam fires, not ejecting the shell and your average miss fires when there are geese 5 feet away..
ive taken care of this gun like my baby and i just decided to clean it after using the gun last fall for shooting clays, looked in the barrel and there was a ring the outside was bulged but not much.. benelli is allowing me to send it in to get looked at and hopefully replaced.
