Saw one at the convention Sat.  Me likey, likey!  Likes...Just about everything.  Dislikes....The camo wrap is still crap and it still doesn't come with a mid bead.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

Yeah, I love my 2000.  It's black.  The alternative is getting a black gun and spend the $200 or so to get it dipped in the pattern of your choice.

Wish they would come out with an auto 20ga. My pistol grip 2000 is the best patterning turkey gun I have owned.

Watching these patterns on the 20 ga board....there aint no need for 3.5 inch 12 ga anymore............I can only imagine the thump from an interia gun.

what set up you have on yours? currently I am running mine with a jelly head and winchester Xtended range #6...shoots good but not 100% sold on the set up. i did just order some Hevi13 #7 to try though.

all in all i LOVE my 2000. Also does anyone know what recoil pad actually fits the pistol grip stock? for the life of me i can find one to fit it. I know the browning version sims will fit the field stock but not the pistol grip.

Shooting the IC 665 with winchester 6s. The pattern has more pellets with the 2 oz Hevi 13 sixes, but I perfer the winchesters and they still have a wicked pattern.

It also likes a kicks 660 with 5s or 6s


My factory turkey choke had a good lead #4 pattern out to forty. Winchester XX 3" 4s

I did a search on this gun and everything that I read about it speaks very highly on the gun itself.  In design it is very similar to that of a Benelli M2 except the M3500 will shoot 3 1/2" shells whereas the M2 only goes to a 3" shell.  I have an M2 and it is an outstanding shotgun.  I just may have to take a serious look at the M3500.

I looked one over at Bass Pro in Nashville last weekend while I was there for the NWTF convention. At $599,  I like it.

Good looking gun with an even better price tag as compared to some of the other brands.
Turkeys are as smart as hunters make em and public land offers more classes.
