A 10 ga will shoot a better pattern than a 3.5 inch 12 ga, all else being equal. This is really only going to make a practical difference if you are a dyed in the wool long shot goose hunter or you want to turn a turkey's head to mush, rather than merely killing it.

If you get a 10 ga H&R, you had better be sure you don't mind recoil, because it will deliver it.
