What’s Included
- Benelli Nova Field 12-gauge pump-action shotgun
- Installed flush screw-in choke tube
The Nova Field configuration pairs a 28-inch vent-rib barrel with an interchangeable flush choke system, giving this shotgun adaptable patterning with common 12-gauge loads. A red bar/bead front sight and a mid-rib bead provide a clear sight picture along the rib.
Its one-piece construction merges a polymer exterior over a steel-skeleton frame, integrating the receiver and stock for strength and weather resistance. The ribbed polymer forend offers a secure grasp, and the black finish presents a consistent, utilitarian look.
The pump-action system uses a rotating, locking bolt head for secure lockup. A forend-mounted shell-stop/magazine cutoff button is present, and a cross-bolt safety provides straightforward control. The chamber accepts 2-3/4, 3, and 3-1/2 inch shells for broad load compatibility.
Origin and markings include Made in Italy, Benelli U.S.A. Corp., Accokeek, MD import stamp, and the Italian BZ date code indicating 2005 production. This example reflects the Nova series design principles in a field-ready setup.
Dimensions and handling details include a 14.25-inch length of pull and a black polymer stock that is integrated with the receiver. The receiver and frame use the same polymer-over-steel skeleton construction, keeping the platform consistent and robust.
