3” I don’t need the 3 1/2 the gun I have now is a 3 1/2 and I’ve never used it.3 or 31/2
Have shot the top 3 on my property trap shooting with friends and like benelli the most but Fred Zinc shoots the browning and he is the top waterfowler alive plus named his lab Maxis.
I shoot benelli nova but I'm a pump guy. 31/2's will make you wish for a auto.
The duck club I use to hunt were Browning's 5-1 with with benelli next only because of the price difference.
Have a Franchi that is 50yrs old and is my upland gun and has never failed me plus shot a lot of waterfowl before the steel change
1700-2000 for a auto is up there but may be the last auto you will ever buy
Also before you buy one put on a sweat shirt and a waterfowl jacket then shoulder it, the browning may feel the best
