I have one with the Sumtoy 650 as well somewhere i will add when i find it.
Sumtoy 650 3.5 Magblend 58degrees
221 10"
Again i also shot the Pure Gold as well but it was in the 180 range with the magblends. I have not shot any Hevi 7 or 6 out of it yet and I have a Hevi Shot choke to try that i will post pics of as well.
nice
That is a good killing pattern with Mag-Blends. How are you liking the 3500? Good deal for a 3.5 auto.

man i love the thing, actually more then my M2000 which is saying a lot. It may end up being my go to turkey gun when the pistol grip stock comes out. I spoke to a benelli rep and he told me another 6 weeks and they should be available to buy as they are getting them in right now from the factory.
nice
here is the magblends with the hevi shot 656 choke. Have one more pic where it went 268 but the jpeg is messed up so i am trying to fix it.

It looks like your gun likes em as much as mine does. Have you shot any Hevi 13 7's out of it yet?

nah i havent. I was hoping the magblends would pattern well because they are usually cheaper and easier to find. Now that i know they do i will just stick with them as i have 5 boxes of them.
I do have a few boxes of 7's for my M2000 but they are all 3" shells. I will shoot 7's from it this year but full on Mags in the 3500 till i run out.
Great numbers with mag-blends. Gotta be thrilled with that. :you_rock:

I heard that! I've got 2 boxs of 3.5" 7's and I'm way to curious not to try em
Those patterns are pretty impressive. I had been debating on whether or not to buy a Stoeger and now it looks like my debate will be which model. The 3500 is looking better and better! lol Great patterns.
Very nice.

Jaymie, I been meaning to ask you,... is the new 3500 any heavier than the 2000, or have you had a chance to weigh them yet.
That is why I love mine, it is light and easy to carry in the woods.
If the new one is as light, might have to upgrade.

It is heavier I'd say by a pound or 2 but I do have the recoil reducer in the butt stock. I will say it is much more beefy and seems much more solid. I live my 2000 but the 3500 just feels like a better made fun. Even the bolt release button and the actual bolt are more smooth and close with force. Just feels like a rock solid gun IMO.
So much so that when I get the pistol stock for it the 2000 will stay in the closet. Also the end of the barrel is different has it has a steel extender that goes into the recover that's connected to the barrel making cleaning the receiver even more easy to do
