Disassembled and lubricated my Gold Hunter 3½" this afternoon. I haven't shot it in a while, and probably wont. I prefer my A5 Magnum Twenty set up for 2¾" shells for squirrels. The Gold Hunter was bought as a turkey gun with fiber optic sighs on a 24" barrel, matte black metal and black "plastic" furniture. I have gotten older and walnut and blue steel looks nicer to me!
I love the Browning gold 3". It shoots like a dream. I never really got into the 3 1/2 stuff. I haven't seen a 3" not deliver yet. I do agree auto 5 is first choice.
