Thanks everyone. Having owned the Beneli Nova for 4 years I did like having the option of the 3.5" or going down to a 2-3/4". When it comes to recoil you just can't beat my Gold 10 its a kitty cat. I would take a pounding after shooting heavy 3.5" goose loads out of my Nova, but I can shoot the 10 Gauge all day long with no wories. I am just going to have to buy that Browning Gold 12 Gauge 3.5" It might not be a few years down the road but when my kids and family start hunting waterfowl I will be huge into it again. I used to waterfowl hunt every weekend, after bow elk season was over. Now being married with kids and after I take my normal 2 weeks off for elk hunting, I have too many things to do to hunt everyweekend. This last year I only got out duck hunting twice![:@][:'(] That will change!
