I got two. One gold deer hunter, and another 3.5" stalker like your getting. I can't say enough about it. Smoothest action in the business. Now, when I bought mine, I gave 600 for the slug gun, and bought the 3.5" used for 600 in mint. I see they have jacked thier prices up to unbelievable levels. I wouldn't pay 1000 dollars for one. But over 85% of my guns were previously owned.

I have used the stalker goose and duck hunting for 2 years. I took it out turkey but the barrel is too long, and didn't like the black for turkey hunting. I have been out in 20 degree weather and up and havn't had an issue yet. I have used the slug gun for over 5 years and again, awesome gun.
