SNIP>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>

That being said, I am looking for my best options at finding reasonable (Sub-$1000.00 to 2000.00) options for a 12-gauge double barrel shotgun - preferably 3.5 inch capable.

1. Does anybody manufacture a SXS that is chambered for a 3.5"?
2. I have heard of some hunters purchasing the Browning BSS 12ga and having screw-in chokes put in them and then having the chamber back-bored for 3.5" shells. Has anyone heard of this, and if so please let me know how well it worked. (This would be my dream gun)
3. Has anyone had any experience with DeHaan shotguns? http://www.dhshotguns.com

Thanks for any input, Mack
Why don't you just get a 3" gun; take to a competent gunsmith & have him rechamber to 3½"? The pressue, (PSI/CUP); is the same for 2¾", 3", or 3½". I have several friends that did this with zero problems.
