The 870 is just a better built gun...
Your grand-children's children will just love it... as it will still be around and running. There's a reason that the Remington 870 is the longest and highest volume continuously produced shotgun in history...
I have a 870, built in the 70's, handed down from my dad, with a +4 tube on it and a 18" cyl choke barrel. Yes, the tube sticks out 3-4" past the barrel, but it ain't a beauty contest... It shoots anything you feed it. It has in duck blinds, tree stands, in the ice, and snow, and rain, and mud...
Buy an 870. Take care of it. Pass it down to YOUR kids, almost 40 years from now... It'll be just as nice then.

Here's a scenario:
It's a total blackout, no electricity for day's on end. The home invaders are starting to get through the neighbor hoods. You find and old 870 or Moss in your grand dads closet. It doesn't have a light, laser, heat shield, fancy folding stock, pistol grip, Trijicon sights, rail system, foregrip not even a set of chokes.
You going to let it lye there or are you going to make that hardware work for ya ?
never got to shoot a nova but i havent herd anything negative about them.
I have one bad thing to say about them...
I got one when they 1st came out for MN goose season. It so derned light that shooting 3 1/2's will just about dislocate your shoulder!
Otherwise it is a light sweet handling scatter gun.
