The Benelli Nova Speed is a competition-oriented pump shotgun developed with practical shotgun sports in mind. While it's aimed primarily at IPSC shooters, its versatility makes it equally at home in 3-Gun, clay shooting, hunting, or in the hands of anyone who appreciates a fast-handling pump shotgun.
With a 12-round capacity, the Nova Speed offers a significant advantage over competition semi-automatic shotguns, which are subject to magazine capacity restrictions in Canada. Its 26-inch barrel also makes it suitable for use at many clay shooting clubs that have minimum barrel length requirements, allowing shooters to enjoy the same shotgun in multiple disciplines.
If the magazine tube is restricted to two rounds where required by hunting regulations, the Nova Speed's lightweight design, quick handling, and 26-inch barrel make it a capable option for hunting upland birds, small game, or even large game in shotgun-only zones. The shotgun is also equipped with a flip-up rear sight, providing a precise sighting system for shooting slugs or buckshot while remaining unobtrusive when shooting birdshot.
Unlike the Nova and SuperNova, the Nova Speed is built on an entirely different action. Rather than sharing the traditional Nova platform, it features a competition-oriented action that delivers an exceptionally smooth and fast pump stroke. To complement its competition-focused design, the loading port is generously enlarged, making quad loading faster and easier while helping shooters keep the magazine topped up throughout a stage.
The Nova Speed isn't trying to compete directly with high-end semi-automatic shotguns. Instead, it offers a fast, reliable, and surprisingly versatile pump-action platform that can transition from an IPSC stage to a sporting clays course or a day in the field with very few compromises. For shooters who appreciate a well-balanced pump shotgun that's built to be run hard, the Benelli Nova Speed deserves serious consideration.
