Another question, Is 3 1/2" really needed. Ive shot 3" all my life and never had and issue

[Feelin' Fowl]

Not necessary...

[AKPirate]

But it is a nice option to have in any case

Best argument I've ever seen for a 3.5" gun would be that they are supposedly designed to hold up to greater pressures and if you hand load that might be beneficial but as far as hunting there isn't a species of waterfowl you can hunt that REQUIRES 3.5" shells.

Exactly, also when your on a WFF hunt and every jackass is shooting at 70 yards

Or you run out of shells, and your buddy only has 3.5" shells for you...

Yep

He should just get it over with and get the best, a Browning or Winchester

Totally agree

Duck hammer torture tested his browning by shooting 10 ducks this year.

Pfft. The widow maker killed 20 ducks and a goose 2 seasons ago and another 7 last season. Also tried to destroy my shoulder when I was patterning turkey loads last spring.

Pussy...That's like shooting a .22!

Then why pay for a 3 1/2", much less put up with a clunkier gun?

Did you just make a thread a few weeks ago about flinching with trap loads??

[assateague]

Yes.

[Bufflehead]

Find someone with a Beretta A400 and see if they will let you shoot it. You'll love it.

3 1/2" guns are Mas Macho. That's all you need to know.

Rifle loads...

[MOhuntingGuy]

Both guns you are looking at are great guns. 3 1/2 is completely unnecessary in my opinion but to each his own. Biggest difference between the Remington and winchester is weight. The versa max is like swinging a boat anchor to me, but I do like them.

[sws002]

I can tell you that I've seen no less than half a dozen VersaCraps sent back to Remington for a variety of issues. I have never seen a Winchester/Browning or Benelli auto sent back. Just sayin...

The Benelli M2 I used to have was a nice gun besides the fact that it rattled your teeth each shot shooting heavy 3" loads, it was still one hell of a gun. My recommendation as long as with other is on of the couple Benelli automatics.
