Red dot and Slug barrel questions for Nova users

[Peter B]

I have recently purchased a 12 gauge Nova and was quite happy with its performance during the past Ontario turkey season. I am interested to hear from Nova users who have put a slug barrel on theirs. In addition to the barrel, do I need to purchase anything else? Do I have to purchase a cantilevered barrel?
Also, I am interested to hear the opinions of those who have tried a red dot style sighting system on a slug gun. Thanks in advance for your responses.

I don't have a Nova but i do shoot an 870 Remington that i mounted a Bushnell Trophy Red Dot.
Best thing , and only thing i've ever done to that gun in 30 years of killing deer with it.

I have a Ithica sluged barrel for the nova and with a red dot love it. I get 1 to 1.2 inch groups at 100 yards.

The EOTechs are great sights! I have one on my AR-15 and on my 870. Super fast target acquisition. And they're tough as nails.

When you get the barrel, that is all you will need. There are no other parts that you will need to install the new barrel. It is simply a quick change out.
