Benelli pump shotgun question??
![dreher](https://forums.gunbroker.com/applications/dashboard/design/images/defaulticon.png)
I know several men who are serious duck/goose hunters that swear by their Benelli semi-autos. They think they are the absolutely the best shotgun on the market. So I was foolin' around on the GB auction side and noticed that the Benelli pump guns were what I felt were reasonably priced, much more so than the Benelli semi's. My first thought was, I wonder if the Benelli pumps have the same reputation as the Benelli semi's. But I have never talked to someone who owns a Benelli pump so I have no idea what people think of these pumps. So if you have owned or used a Benelli pump, what did you think of it?? How did it stack up to a Rem. 870 or a Mossy 500?? I have both a couple 870s and a couple of Mossy's. I am wondering if a Benelli pump needs to be added to my stable of self defense pump guns.
I guess my real question is, what is the difference in quality between an 870, a 500 or a Benelli?? I'll be very honest, I see very little difference between a Mossberg and a Remington. I feel well armed with either. Would I be even happier with a Benelli?? Or is this just a another case of a very common disease here on GB, the need to buy another gun before I go into withdrawal??

I'm sure that the Benelli pumps are good guns, but I honestly don't know anyone who shoots them, and I've never sold one.
The Nova is a beast, we were in a pit blind duck hunting in terrible conditions one morning. It was raining turning to sleet, muddy from the ride in, we probably should've stayed home! My two buddies had 870's and they shutdown simultaneously. Both of the 870's had to be stripped in the blind, the Nova ran flawlessly.
