I also had some using a Pure Gold 670 but it was not as good as either of these 2 so i sold it, was not bad though and was huntable without a doubt. Have a Hevi Shot choke now to try so i will post those when i can shoot them.

Those are great patterns.  I didn't have any luck with the 3-2-7's in my M2000.  POI was about a foot lower than the 1 5/8 or 1 3/4 H13-6's and my gun wouldn't cycle the 3-2-7's either.

I am surprised at your Win xr pattern, they shoot very tight and uniform out of my Stoeger.
Must be the choke. I just can not believe, our guns are that much different.
Tommy

well it is prob a combination of the choke i had (IC 665) and the fact that they were the last shell i fired for that day and only used a bore snake inbetween shots.

I actually still have a few left i may shoot them again.

Looks like you are liking the Stoegers.  Now which one to use?

Currently it's easy choice because the 3500 doesn't have a pistol grip but if Benelli is right and one will be out by April then the choice is much harder lol

I've been debating on my next gun choice and had been wondering how good people were doing with their Stoegers as turkey sticks and now I'm seeing there's not a whole lot to worry about. Very impressive patterns. Those toms don't stand a chance.
