Aled_cky Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 anyone know how many shots are in a Benelli Nova with FAC, a mate is thinking about aquiring one off GunTrader, but he wants to know how many shots. Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Five. You could add an extension tube to take that up to eight I should think. If you wanted to really go for it, how about a M1 90 Practical (9+1 capacity)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Aled, The Nova can and will take 7 x 3 1/2 carts. So if you get your calculator out you can see how many Pigeon loads will fit in. LB :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_stag88 Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 But it is against the law to shoot waterfowl with 4+ shots, is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Yes it is Red. So I suggest you don't do it. LB :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aled_cky Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 my mate shoots rooks, crows and pigeons mainly with a bit of rabbits and fox's. big farm but for around here(750acres) so my mate might get a 5shot. he does not shoot duck so that is not a problem.

Teal Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 I wonder how often he'd actually be able to shoot 5 shots, assuming he doesn't miss. For me I think 3 shots would easily be sufficient. I can rarely think of a situation when i could have fired more than that in the time before the rest of them are out of shot.

red_stag88 Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Two misses is expensive enough! :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 The Nova can and will take 7 x 3 1/2 carts. Best tell Benelli then, they are under the impression that it's five..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarms Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 I heard the most u can get with Vermin Conrtol as the reason was 5 but this is probably wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 I can assure you that Bennelli are aware as we have been in touch with each other. :thumbs: LB \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rifleman56 Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 two shots is enough why any one wants 3 or 5 shots ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aled_cky Posted November 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 as my mates grandparents own 3 farms they have quite a few yards.. and all the jackdaws, pigeons and starlings come down on the silage and barely mix. so the first shot he hits a few, same for second. but he wants to hit the pigeons a few times before they go out of range. i might go over there next week with 12bore and .22 he shot 33 starlings yesterday with an air rifle on the barely.

Mark, They sell a extension tube with a barrel support. Direct quote from the Nova manual ' Firearms version with the short magazine containing four cartridges can be fitted with a magazine extension tube that increases their capacity to five or six/seven cartridges depending on the length of the cartridge ' Page 43.
