I have an M3000 and it ran flawless this duck season. Not one malfunction. I'm sure the 3500 would be the same except it shoots 3.5" shells.

It is on my short list for next firearms purchase. Not all that refined, but reliable and priced right for the duck marsh.

If you are looking for a gun that is both cheap AND dependable, might I suggest the following?: http://www.ableammo.com/catalog/beretta-...h-p-131274.html

I've had the M2000 for about 4 years....not one problem from dove loads to 3" turkey loads.

I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

And I think that's just crazy talk. I guess we're all entitled to our own wrong opinions.

Stoeger and Franchi are made by Benneli. The Franchi has more bells and whistles than the Stoeger. The main difference between SBE or M2 and Franchi Affinity/Intensity is the comfort tech stock. The rest is about the same.....the bolt is exactly the same. The Franchi really shoulders well IMO. The Stoeger has the same bolt, but the stock is bulky to me and doesn't shoulder as well.
All of them are quality guns and Benelli stands behind them well.

I have put my M3500 thru everything duck hunting offers dropped it in the pond and picked it up and shot it. Works flawless never an issue. Buy on if you want a reliable semi
If your in my area you can shoot it if you want to
