If you choose the 3200, be aware of the year made. There were issues with the gun and Remington remedied them at no charge. There are keys to determine whether this was done or not. This is easy to find on the net. I bought an early gun that wasn't modified back in the late 70's and wasn't aware of the issue. I sent it to Pat Laib and he determined it didn't need the mods. He has all the spare parts on the gun and is the guru for repairs. It is a tank. The safety is a great feature as LeFusil wrote. It's none of the "pat your head, rub your stomach" to go from safe to fire at the same time a barrel is selected. Mine is the 26" field and it weighs 8 lbs. Gil
