Slay,
If you are ever interested in a Beretta call me. I am a Beretta dealer, and have several 3.5's in stock.

My nephew has one and loves it....I have become a semi auto person lately..... still will play with the pumps, just prefer semi's for follow up shots or multiple targets..... if needed
Yea. I had one. SOB kicked like a dang mule. I shoot big bore rifles so I'm not afraid of recoil but that sucker hurt with a load of 3.5 mags. Shot ducks with it one year and sold it.
870 supermag is a much better gun. my son had the benelli and sold it.
Thanks for the help guys! im still a long way from purchasing a gun but ill keep this in mind
CJW whats the cheapest Beretta's you have for sell?
Take a look at the Remington Versa Max

Did they fix the recall problem they had when it first came on the market ? Kind caused me to shy away from it .
From what I've read they did; the reviews have been positive. But for $1500 they should be.
if i spend 1500 itll be a a sbe2 or Super Vinci

Most guys i know who shot 3.5" for ducks and geese switched back to 3" years ago, the extra money and recoil is just not worth it. The shot strings from 3.5" loads are way to long and they pattern much worse than 3" loads, you can only stuff so much shot in a 12 gauge bore...
That said, I had a Nova back when they first came out. Worked fine, I had no complaint. Only shot 2 boxes of 3.5" shells out of it and that was enough for me.
I sold it and bought a Berretta A390 and never looked back.
Lots of times if you pattern your gun with 3" and 2 3/4 " shells you will find that the 2 3/4 " shells actually have the better pattern .

Was referring to the Remington Versa Max
Question why 3.5? 870Express is the best duck gun. I shoot a Gold 3.5 but have gone to a 3in because there just wasn't that much difference in pattern of a 3/ 3 1/2.
