Any double barrel shotguns that shoot 3 1/2? Besides the browning cynergy?

There was an importer named Armes de Chasse, that imported a SXS the Chesapeake model, but they are scarcer then hens teeth.
for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

Beretta produced a 3.5" Onyx Pro.. They're on Gunbroker fairly often..
I really hate to do what I am about to do, because it will be very painful for you.

I think Ruger made their Red Label in 3 1/2" at one time .

Those 3.5" loads pack a pretty good recoil. If I was going to shoot them, it would be through some type of gas operated semi-auto shotgun.

When you add significant weight to a double shotgun of either type, you correspondingly reduce it's handling qualities. Of course, that's just my opinion and its worth what you paid for it. If you're going down that path, you might as well just get a double 10. Of course, I've heard them referred to upon occasion as "Spanish Clubs", but YMMV.

The phrase retina detaching recoil comes to mind.
Thought for the day: Ducks were almost hunted to extinction long before camo was invented.

It's a brutal combination; this coming from a guy who regularly shoots nitro express double rifles ranging from .450ne to .700ne

After researching it , I stand corrected . The Ruger Red Label was never offered in 3 1/2" chambers. I thought the all weather stainless version was , but I was wrong .

I owned a Beretta 686 Onyx for one year. That was only chambered in up to 3 inch. That was THE most brutal weapon I have ever shot so far as recoil. I shot a 100 round sport clay tournament and the skin on my shoulder ws riddle with blood blisters and bleeding. I gladly traded that gun for a loss.

I only shoot 3.5's at sandhills and honestly don't notice the recoil when hunting. These guns handle it pretty well.

Traditions made one as well.
My vote:
Browning Citori Satin Hunter 3 1/2" was $1399 at Dick's Sporting Goods, I just sold one of mine to a fella in Tennessee. Had TDK install a fully adjustable Gra-Coil Recoil reduction unit and did shoot several 3 1/2" loads at the pattern board. Recoil was very manageable, the gun weighed nearly 9lbs. Satin wood and metal finishes.

I'll shoot 3.5 out of my cynergy before I will out of my SBE II any day !!!! The way the cynergy is made and the way it's designed to deal with recoil is awesome !
