Benelli Nova or Winchester SXP?

I'm working on a graphic design project with a major waterfowl hunting company, can't say who. But, with the freelance money, I am going to buy a new 12g shotgun. I don't duck or goose hunt, but I dove/deer/squirrel hunt and we shoot a lot.

Both of these guns are around the same price, and I know the reliability and quality of both brands very well. Thoughts?

 

If it were me, I'd go somewhere that has both and fondle them. Whichever one fits you better is the one I would get.

Funny story, my brother bought a nice auto Benelli once, still couldn't hit a dove

 

Settled for an M&P9 2.0 5"!

 

870 Wingmaster not the express. Best pump action shotgun made. I have several hundred thousand rounds through mine and only replaced the extractor once.
Ive been using it for trap shooting for over 30 years.

 

Very cool! I have a 1964 wing master magnum. Harvested 2 deer with it. The quality of those vintage guns is readily apparent.
