Wondering if any of you guys have had any experience with the compact nova 20ga looking to get away from the shoulder bruising 835 any info would be greatly appreciated thanks 
			
			
			
				Mine isn't a compact but I love my little Nova 20, they are pretty maytag. I have a 12 also, my waterfowl friends can attest to the abuse they can take.  Before I bought my Franchi Affinity, it was my go to rig.
