Both Browning and Benelli make very good guns. I would definitely go with a gun that's capable of shooting those 3.5"'s though. You may not ever shoot them but if you need to you'll have the capability. And if I were going to go with something that shot 3.5's I'd definitely go with a semi-auto. Those 3.5's will stay with you long after the day has drawn to a close, if you know what I mean. I wouldn't be at all hesitant to recommend the Browning Gold. I have a friend that has one and he uses it for turkey, duck and goose.

Having said that, I have a Beretta Extrema 3.5 and couldn't be happier. Good luck! Simp
