The Nova's one-piece polymer-over-steel receiver/stock housing delivers a rigid, durable platform with a matte black finish. The steel receiver core is paired with a synthetic stock and polymer forend, both in black, with textured gripping surfaces for confident handling. A cross-bolt safety sits behind the trigger.
The 26-inch vent-rib barrel is threaded for choke tubes and currently fitted with a full choke. A red fiber-optic front bead on the rib provides a bright, easily acquired aiming point. The gun is chambered for 2 3/4 or 3 inch 20-gauge shells and feeds from a 4+1 tubular magazine.
Controls and carry features include a shell-stop button ahead of the trigger guard, plus a tubular magazine with a knurled cap that integrates the front sling swivel stud. A rear sling swivel stud is built into the stock. The stock also includes a recoil pad and offers a 14.0-inch length of pull.
Proofed in Italy and imported by Benelli U.S.A., this example bears Italian proof marks and the Benelli U.S.A. import mark. The overall configuration is matte black with a vent rib and fiber-optic bead, set up for practical field use with integral sling studs.
