MC Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 My Berretta Extrema has, the Escort semi has and the Winchester X2 Ranger. There is probably more as 31/2" chambers are becoming popular. Cheers MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Unless you do ant wildfowling I wouldn't bother with 3.5". the cartridges are expensive 70 pence each and mostly are available in non toxic. I certainly wouldn't shoot a pigeon with them. If you are looking for a reasonable gun then the Escort has to be the one.

Guest Wildfowler Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) Benelli do a 3.5" in the Super Black Eagle, and the Nova pump. Not all Escorts are 3.5" they also make them in 3" Edited April 13, 2006 by Wildfowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Beretta Xtrema in camo finish is the tool. A very versatile gun. Shoots wildfowl better (IMO) than a 10 b and pigeons... well, like nothing else. Easy to clean, doesn't mind the dirt or the wet and takes pretty much all loads. Looks nasty if you like wood and traditional quality finish but as I always say even Chippendale (the cabinet maker/designer not the stripper) would have used MDF if it had been around in his day. Not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 It was my Workshop with my Lathe etc in there but had bags of rook in there and a coded door lock so ideal to keep the bairn out. Put my cabinet in and started buying. I have been meaning to stop but it's like an addiction :thumbs: Still at least it aint smoking is it LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytie Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 LG, Blackpowder could help with the smoking, much better than tabacco Regards, Flytie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 No thanks i saw a clown using it at the Clay grounds BOOOOMMMMPHHHH and clouds of white smoke billowing from his barrels Even the clay ground owner rolled his eyes and in certain words told me the guy was a wan*er I want my barrels to last a while yet not rot from the inside out :thumbs: LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 I have an extrema in wetlands camo its a great gun. :thumbs: I would not recommend you getting a 3.5 inch unless you really want to fire cartridges over 42 grams, as a 3 inch chamber copes well with these. The cost of heavy loads is extortionate. I use the Mirage SUPERMAGNUM 89 - TURKEY LOAD 66 gr. you will really feel it if you fire three in quick succession. link to mirage site http://www.clevervr.com/home2.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 I need to get my mitts on a box of them thatr 66 ers £15 for 10 is about the cheapest i can find i will have to go and get some next week. LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
