3450 vs 3225 (Ursus)?

Post by MikeMilnarik »

Hello Everyone!

If this topic has already been discussed and you've got a link, please post it. Did a search and went through a bunch of posts that had both of these in it, but didn't find a direct comparison.

I know that the 3450 and the 3225 start out with the same bore, with the 3225 increasing; 3225 bell is 1/2" bigger than the 3450; and they are both the same height.

Anyone play both? Back to back? Thoughts?

Thanks!

I haven't played an Ursus, but I had a feeling that might be the case.

Thank you, bort!

It's comparable to a pt606 in size.
