I've got the 3500, its been a good reliable shotgun for me for the last 8 years. only issue I've ever had with it was a stuck a choke tube in it by running too high pressure of a load through too tight of a choke. New barrel and its good as new. i will say they're a bit heavy but the nice thing is it soaks up the recoil. i would try to find it for less than 900 though, i gave 595 for mine in max 4
