I am about to buy a Nova for turkey hunting. I'm ordering the 24" barell in camo this week. I haven't heard much on which aftermarket turkey chokes work the best with Novas. I'm thinking of shooting hevi shot so I was going to go with the Primos Jelly Head. Any suggestions?

I went with a Rhino choke for my Winchester 1300, and I'm assuming that they would also make a choke for the Benelli line as well. I would check with Rhino to see what size choke restriction they suggest for the Benelli.

I bought a H.S Strut choke tube made for Hevi Shot. I shoot #6 3 1/2 . I killed 3 big birds last season. The last 2 were standing at 60 yards! It killed them clean as a whistle.

Rhino makes the best choke for Hevi-Shot. I don't know how it works with the cr@p that remington sells but it works awesome with Nitro's hevi-shot

I SHOOT A SUPER BLACK EAGLE WITH A PURE GOLD .670 TUBE. THE LOAD I USE IS REMINGTON'S HEVI SHOT IN 3 1/2" 1 7/8 OZ. #5. THIS COMBO THROWS A VERY DENSE PATTERN OUT TO 50+ YARDS. I KILLED 7 GOBBLERS WITH THIS SETUP LAST YEAR, THE FARTHEREST BEING 55 YARDS. ALL WERE GRAVEYARD DEAD!

I would go with the 28inch barrel , for me it seems to hold a tighter pattern when shooting heavy turkey loads..

Also pick up a Undertaker Choke, they fit the nova's.. their around $19.00 to $25.00

I have used both the mad max(love it) and the strut stoper. and they both love hevi shot. now with the sturt stoper I did notice that after about 60 rounds it started to show wear in it. the mad max I have put about 35 rounds thro it and not sign of anything.
