Description
Monolithic Durability for Field Use The Benelli Nova is built to a standard that defies conventional pump-action construction. The receiver and stock are manufactured as a single monolithic unit consisting of a steel skeleton over-molded with high-strength, impact-resistant technopolymer. This results in a weapon system that is nearly impervious to extreme cold, salt spray, and hard field use. For agencies seeking a low-maintenance, high-durability shotgun for issued patrol equipment, the Nova is a benchmark platform.
Maximum Munition Flexibility The Nova Tactical (#20055) is capable of cycling the full range of 12-gauge shotshells up to 3-1/2″ magnum loads. This versatility is a major force multiplier for tactical armories, allowing a single platform to be deployed with standard 2-3/4″ buckshot for routine patrol or specialized high-energy/less-lethal loads for tactical entries and crowd control.
