Turkey gun.
Stoeger semi auto 3" chamber
Benelli Nova pump 3.5" chamber.
Prices are within $50 of each other.

Doen't know much about Stoegers.
The Benilli Pump slide rattled too much when it was in the closed position.

The Stoeger is suppose to be made on the Benneli patent, it is suppose to be just like the Benneli semi auto. For me, I like the semi when it comes to hunting. I have hunted for years with 3" mags for turkey hunting and have had no problems taking them. To me the 3 1/2" is too much to handle when leaned back against a tree or something else which keeps the body from moving with recoil. I think it is just fine for deer or duck hunting, but I don't prefer it.
