Anyone knows single shot shotgun or maybe not single shot,
but definitely break action and folding like shown below and
which accepts 3.5" shells and
is 12ga?
Thanks

Henry makes one in 3.5”, old NEA if you can find one. Not aware of any that fold like that, don’t know if I’d trus a Turkish delight to hold up to that for long honestly
 
You might want to fire a light single shot with 3 inch shell once.
The recoil will loosen your back teeth.
3 1/2 inch will really hurt.

I can attest to that. I shot a couple of full power slugs out of my 3" H&R Pardner single shot .... and I had a blue shoulder for a week .... I can't even imagine to shoot 3.5" shells with that gun or a similar one ....
 
I am a heavy guy, so shooting 3" is OK with me, I have never owned/shot 3.5" though yet, I just want 3.5" to be accepted just in case, but plan on shooting 234-3"
 
I used to own (USED TO) an H&R single shot in 10ga that had been cut down to 22" and had custom extra full turkey choke installed in the barrel. Even with the 3/4" steel rod that is installed in the stock for extra weight, with 3.5" turkey loads it would still do piss all for lessoning the recoil. She would shake the fillings out of your teeth and make you see stars the odd time.
 
well, thanks guys, I guess break action, which folds like shown above and 3.5" is just not practical and crazy, so I will stop looking hank you all, will stick to 3" max
again really really appreciate info and input, God bless you all :)!

Well, I'm 6'1"..262lbs..and don't consider myself recoil shy. That said, a stout 20ga load out of my Cooey 84 in summer T-shirt weather=ain't a ton of fun. lol (no recoil pad on these guns, be nice :) ) I have no need for 3-1/2" 12ga anything, 99.9% of my 12ga shooting (34 years) has been with 2-3/4" loads A well placed shot with the right 2-3/4" load=allot is possible.

The last time I shot a 3-1/2" load I was at a range helping a guy sight-in his turkey gun. Helping because the first shot he took split his eyebrow in half. I offered to help because he was dazed...and clearly wanting the gun set-up before he went to the hospital. Turkey season opened in 2 weeks. lol
 
I shot some 3.5" magnums out of my Supernova Tactical. Mostly Win Super X 3.5" 18 pellet 00 buck. I'm not recoil shy but it was brutal. At 20 yards only 8 or 9 pellets hit the target, the rest peppered the backstop. I believe that shotgun was 8 or 9 lbs unloaded the way it was set up. Now having fired a number of 3" mags out of light singles I'd have no interest in stepping up to a 3.5". Unless you like sore shoulders, bruised cheeks and whiplash. Mind if I ask what you have in mind for such a boomstick? Not trying to be rude, I'm genuinely interested.
