The 3.5" equalled quite a bit more pellets on target (240 in a 10" circle on average vs. 180 at 40 yards) for me personally over the 3" gun I used last year with the exact same load (Hevi Mag Blends). If your main goal is extending your range and you don't like the feel of a pump gun (i.e. the 835), you're not gonna beat the 935's overbored barrel for pattern density, regardless of which load you choose assuming that you choke it properly. You're more than welcome to check mine out if you would like. I guess time will tell how well it holds up, but it will cycle everything from dove loads to 3.5" turkey loads just as quick as I can pull the trigger and the recoil is CONSIDERABLY less than a 3.5" pump gun considering it is a gas gun.
