What is the best 3.5 inch shotgun made right now?

going to have to say benelli super black eagle...

My vote goes for the Browning BPS! Shoots some amazing patterns at a laser measured 40 yards.

I have a Mossberg with a hastings choke that throws an awesome turkey pattern. All the major manufacturers are good guns.

Pump action; my Mossberg 835. NWTF edition.
Semi auto; Benelli super black eagle.

To save the world from stupid people remove all warning labels and let nature take it's course.

Benelli SBE- worth every penny if you want a 3.5". Expensive?...That's ofcourse relative. I personaly use a Benelli M1 field 3" for ducks and a BPS 10 gauge 3 1/2 for geese and turkey. I had a browning Gold 3 1/2 and it was a beautiful gun- looks wise. It performed well in the upland world and trap, but jammed in ugly waterfowl weather, especially with the 3 1/2". Just my opinion through experience.
