[QUOTE="NDAR15MAN, post: 1814949, member: 31706"] so many more options with a gun that shoots 3 1/2 shells. I have been duck hunting many many years. I live in Muscatine Iowa and I think it is ground zero for waterfowl hunting out of a boat and use to live in North Dakota ground zero I think for waterfowl hunting in pot holes and ground blinds. You never want to be under gun when the birds are flying. If you ever go snow goose hunting I am positive you will see days were you need to shoot 3 1/2 inch shells. Same with big Canada golf course geese. Any one can kill a brant with 2 3/4 shell. I even use the 3 1/2 inch shells for turkey hunting , coyote hunting. If want to loan the gun to some one to shoot a round of trap or pheasant hunt let them use the 2 3/4 shell. All about Options , options , options. Sure there is days you only need a 2 3/4 inch shell but more often than not the 3 1/2 shell is the choice. I have 4 friends in Iowa that all hunt out of a 24 foot camo / brushed up pontoon boat. This last year waterfowl Season they killed 400 ducks and 89 geese. All shoot Remington 3 1/2 shells. Plus if you live in a shotgun only state for deer or draw a non-resident $400.00 deer tag you can shoot a 3 inch deer slug. Don't make a mistake and not buy the 3 1/2 inch gun. 2 years ago I was hunting in ND in a coffin Blind. 10 minutes after day light a big old coyote ran by me and I shot him at 47 yards. Dropped him like a sack of hammers. I don’t know we’re the shot hit him but no blood or anything , perfect pelt on him. We went to town for lunch and fur buyer was there. Buyer gave me $80.00 for coyote not skinned. I about fell over. That $80.00 was more the enough to make up the cost for gun that shoots 3 1/2 shells. iIcannot believe anyone would give up that option when your going to buy a new gun and just entering waterfowl hunting. If you already had a 2 3/4 or maybe 3 inch gun live with it. But buying a new gun and not going with the long shell....... poor plan. Marty [/QUOTE]
