I'm 12, 5'9", and 145 lbs. Would a Benelli Nova or Supernova shooting 3 1/2 inch mags work for me?

If you got some one that wants to buy it for you go for it !!
Your only going to get bigger
one thing i would suggest is try to get out and shoot one if you havent. and ill tell ya, 3 1/2 inch shells hurt. im 5'8'' 165-170 and i can only really shoot maybe 10 rounds before i have to take a break. now that being said, im not really a shotgun guy. dont even own one, my wife has a 20GA ithaca youth model, thats a fun little shotgun. not that easy for me to shoot due to it being a youth model, but its still a good time, light on the shoulder too. but if you determine that the 3 1/2 shells work for you, go for it. and be safe.
Whats the difference beetween the Nova and Super nova anyways?
$75.00 difference. Super Nova = Choke tubes and upgraded stock.
I think I'll save up my money & have my dad buy me a Nova because my 870 20 Ga. youth model is to small. After a day of hunting my middle finger is black&blue and swelled up to the size of a cucumber.:pickle:
The supernova is nice but they do not offer a cantilever slug barrel for it. Check out the browning BPS nice gun and a little less pricey.

You can just buy a new stock for your 870.
you are on the right track you can go wrong with the nova i shoot one i use 3 1/2 shells for geese and 3" for ducks good luck
SuperNova is a symbol of the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every Benelli firearm.
Benelli makes slug barrels for the supernova however there not cheap.Badger barrel company also makes barrels for benelli.I have a tactical supernova. The benelli isnt pretty but it is indestuctable and reliable.I would not put the browning on its level.The browning is prettier but the benelli is a better design and will shoot and chamber anything you want.
