Hunting: This model is available with a variety of barrel and sight configurations, most intended for hunting and/or trap/skeet shooting. It is made in both black and camouflage finishes. Due to the polymer coated receiver and stock, along with proprietary coatings on the action and barrel, it is considered impervious to the elements. Barrels may be rifled or smoothbore, and are usually 26" in length. This model is available in 12 gauge or 20 gauge. Five types of chokes are available.
Tactical: This model is intended for defensive purposes. With an 18" barrel, and rifle or ghost- ring (diopter) sights, it is easier to wield and quicker to sight than hunting models. This barrel is smoothbore, and unthreaded, (will not accept chokes) rendering it less accurate at longer ranges. A slightly different model labeled the H2O Nova is similar, with the exception of an electroless nickel finish replacing the standard black coating, presumable with corrosion resistance in mind. This model is 12 gauge only.
Common Features
Synthetic Stock and Receiver Cover: for moisture resistance.
Cross Bolt Safety
Extensible Magazine: may optionally hold up to 7 rounds in magazine. (2.75in. 12 gauge)
3.5in. chamber: will fire and reliably cycle 2.75in., 3in., and 3.5in. shells. (in 12 gauge)
Recoil Reducer: this optional mercury recoil unit is installed via a bracket that is attached to the interior of the stock. The baffled tube holds 14 oz. of mercury, which raises the deltaT that the shot's impulse gets spread out over, thus lowering felt recoil.
Optional Tritium Sights: for tactical units, to provide constantly illuminated sights.
Chamber Empty Button: on the forend, allows unloading of unfired shell without releasing additional shells from the magazine.

Hunting Nova (http://www.benelliusa.com/firearms/nova.tpl)
Benelli fell short of the 75 votes needed to be elected the new Pope and after Cardinal Giovanni Benelli’s candidacy stalled, the electors decided they would look outside Italy, and König suggested a man from behind the Iron Curtain.
What was strange was that Villot, Benelli, and Casaroli were selected by the new Pope to run important departments within the Vatican.
According to Kathleen Keating in her book, "The Final Warning", Benelli is still alive but quite old now, however, reputable websites say that Cardinal Benelli died in 1982.
