The Nova 3 is the latest iteration of Benelli’s line of renowned Nova shotguns, offering a full set of improvements. The bolt has been upgraded with an M4-style bolt face, and the 3” chamber reduces the cycling stroke by 14%. This makes the Nova 3 significantly more reliable and allows it to cycle shells faster than the original Nova shotguns. Another improvement is a unique magazine cutoff button on the underside of the forend, which lets users retain the rounds in the magazine while ejecting the round in the chamber. The Nova 3’s poly-mod construction gives the gun excellent durability, while a crisp trigger and ergo-evolved grip patterning provide optimal handling. Additionally, the Nova 3 is offered in multiple configurations, including models optimized for waterfowl, turkey hunts, and clay shooting and models optimized for home defense and duty applications.
