I have had a Valmet 412S combination gun in 12/76-3inch. 12/70 0n all the others I have. The Tikka 512 may have been available in 3 and a half-inch. My friends 512 is in 3" in his shotgun barrels and his combination 12/.308 set. I could put mine in 3-and-a half as I have the long forcing-cone reamer in 3.5" from Clymer but I can't do the Marochi/Tikka because of the Chrome-lined bores. I would need the Carbide-tipped reamer for this, I re-chambered my Ruger, Red-Label, Stainless Stalker to 3.5" years ago and never looked back. Don't really need a 3.5" Valmet as we haven't got turkeys up here in Northern Ontario.. The thought has crossed my mind.
