While out and about tonight I stopped by the local Scheels store and they had one M3500. Now you couldn't ask for a nicer 3.5 Auto for $599. A tad heavier than my M2 but she cycled nice smooth and clean. The gun shouldered well and felt good in the hands. Although I didn't get to shoot this gun I can see that if it shoots and functions as good as it looks and feels that Stoeger has got themselves a big time winner on their hands here. If this gun had been the 24" version I would of probably went home with it tonight but naturally the salesman at Scheels says like most of the idiots they have working there in his high pitched nasally voice...... "ahhhhh we only order and stock the 26" and 28" barrel guns". So with the store manager standing there watching I respond with, "Well that's too bad, if you would of had a 24" gun I would of taken it home tonight. Thanks for your time, Good Night."
But seriously... If a person is looking for a 3 1/2" auto for a turkey gun I would highly suggest that they check out this gun.
