but, if it were me I would get the nova before an 870

[Medicius]

I think I'm going with the Nova. I called Benelli to ask them if the Nova Tactical barrel would fit on the Nova and they said it would. Obviously I'm going to need to have the receiver drilled and tapped for the rear most sight to be installed, but I believe there are a couple of good gunsmiths down here. While it may not seem all that exciting, it means that I have more options with the Nova than I originally thought I would. Now...I just need to get the shotgun and then order the mercury recoil insert to protect my delicate sensibilities...

Thanks again for all the feedback, I appreciate everyone's response.

It's all personal preference, but by far the most popular sighting system for a 3-gun shotgun is a vent rib with a fiber optic front bead.

Yea, I was going to say... Why do people even use rear sights. At one three gun I went to, they had 100 yard slug targets. NEver shot slugs out of my gun. aLL I had was a bead. Every single target I had a failure to neutralize but I tell ya what I was damn happy to hit all of them. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't that be a pretty extreme stage for shot gun in a three gun match? I'm a pheasant hunter keep in mind, but it seems like it would be a waste of time AIMING at steel and clays.

Not really. Pretty important to know your slug zeros out to 100 yards.

Like I said, I have only done about 3 matches. Everyone was whining about the 100 yard slug shots as well as the 400 hundred yard AR stage. All the mtches I have been to so far only require you to bring about 10-15 slugs. Either way, shotguns even for tactical purpose with slugs are a short range wepon. What whould you rather have in a hundred yard gun battle, an AR or a an 870 with 8 skugs in the tube.

Element arms in Becker has all the stuff you'll need. Plus you can check it out in person. And btw, running the offset irons puts you in open class.

Plus one on Element Arms.

And BTW Offset iron's do NOT put you in open class. Running two optics (meaning a variable scope and a red dot) put's you in open. Personally I don't care for them though.

Tough to beat an M2. If you can borrow one set up for 3-gun by all means do it. If you want to get in on the cheap to try it out another great option is to look for a used Nova with a 24-26" VR barrel (can usualy find them for $200, buy the +6 or +7 Nordic extension and call it good, you don't need anything else.

Nothing wrong with starting out with a basic carbine. If you decide to get more serious down the road you can always just change out the complete upper or swap out parts.

Not what I meant. Offsets plus an optic put you in Open class. No point in having offsets all by themselves.

Still incorrect Shawski. You can run one optic and have offset irons for tactical optics class. Two optics such as a variable scope and an offset reflex sight will put you in open.

That makes sense. Last time I listen to somebody at a match about equipment rules
