The Benelli Nova 3 is a redesigned 12 Gauge pump-action hunting shotgun built for reliable field performance. Its three-inch chamber and four-round magazine provide a 4+1 capacity, while the twenty-eight-inch barrel includes interchangeable Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full choke tubes for adapting shot patterns to different hunting applications. The Nova 3 uses Benelli’s durable poly-mod construction, an ergonomic diamond-grip stock, a crisp trigger, and a recoil pad designed to improve shooting comfort. Its forend cutoff button allows hunters to remove a chambered shell without feeding another round from the magazine. The Mossy Oak Bottomland finish provides a practical camouflage pattern, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for compatible optics or mounts.
