I've heard good things. I've played around with a Nova (the lower budget version) at the gun shop before, but have never had any range time with either. I was impressed enough by it that I almost bought one. The only reason I didn't is that I'm a sucker for the old style stuff, and the Mossberg Retrograde series won me over.
No opinion about your shotgun only because I haven't pulled a trigger on one in several years. Welcome to the form, sir! There will be some folks on here with some knowledge and opinions for sure!
