I have never shot the Weatherby, but researched them a while back when I was looking for an auto loader. They are built in Turkey and while that isn't necessarily a bad thing, the quality from Turkey is all over the board. Weatherby, probably sells the better stuff, but I don't know.
With the 3.5" Benelli, you could shot any rounds yuo could find in a pinch, if necessary.

I'd go with the weatherby sa-08 COMPACT, you don't need 3.5" shells to kill turkeys, and it is a semi auto. But if it is only for turkeys I'd get the SA-459.

Supernova and yes, agreed 3.5" not needed but 3.5 > 3 for turkeys.
The moss 835 and Rem 870 super in similar price range if considering a pump.
A franchi and stoeger shld be in similar weatherby price range if wanting a semi.
Try and handle all and see which feels best.

So I bought a Beretta A300. Excited about that. Good choice.

If you need 3.5 for turkey, you need to keep calling them in or set the decoy closer!
I have given them the drop/flop with a 20ga 2 3/4. No problem.
I think we have a tendency to get into overkill territory with huge magnum deer rifles and overkill pistols. Before you know it, we will have everyone telling us we need 4 inch for turkeys.
That being said, you can always shoot shorter shells in that chamber so no problem there.

Just seeing this.
Good choice on the A300. I have a 20 ga SA-08 youth for my kids. Great shooter. Would highly recommend to anyone.

That being said, you can always shoot shorter shells in that chamber so no problem there.  First time I patterned a 3.5" Mossberg 835 I had, I didn't like it no more. I finished that season, killed a nice Osceola bird, then decided if I couldn't kill one with a 3" max chambered gun, then I didn't need to kill no more!
