The Benelli Nova 3 is the next generation of purpose-built pump shotguns, engineered for superior handling, durability, and performance. By integrating legendary M4 engineering with innovative Poly-Mod construction, Benelli has created a lighter, faster, and more responsive pump-action shotgun designed to excel in any environment.
When the original Nova debuted, it redefined what a pump shotgun could be—proving that innovation in shotgun technology was far from over. The Nova 3 builds on that legacy, delivering M4-inspired reliability and performance in a rugged, quick-handling design. Whether in the field or on the range, the Nova 3 is built to be Lighter, Faster, and Always Ready.
Ultra Reliability
3" chamber leads to a 14% shorter cycling stroke compared to the original Nova making it much faster. Plus the incorporated M4 bolt-face gives the Nova 3 ultra reliability.
The button on the underside of the forend activates a shell stop, allowing a chambered shell to be removed without releasing rounds from the magazine.
Legendary Engineering
Poly-mod constructed for responsive handling and unwavering performance, the Nova 3 includes a crisp trigger and ergo-evovled diamond grip stock - one of the best gripping surfaces on the market.
Recoil Reduction
Durable recoil pad provides greater recoil reduction.
Quick to Target
Red-bar front sight allows for faster target acquisition.
