Default RE: Mossberg 935

The 935 is perhaps BETTER than the 835 simply because of one reason. The auto action reduces recoil, which the 835 has in SPADES with fullboat loads!!! The 935 has the same backboring (nearly 10ga) as the 835 and uses the same loads and tubes. I shoot a 835 simply because I've had it for 15 years. If I were buying new I would get a 935. One of my guys at work (I work for a hunting/fishing shop who is a Rhino/Nitro dealer) patterned several shotguns a couple of weeks ago (all with Rhino tubes and Nitro loads) and his own 935 put 400-415 pellets in a 12" circle at 40yds. That was with both the Rhino .680 and straight 7 Nitros and also with a .695 with the 4x5x7 triplex Nitros. In fact with that exact gun, and the 680/7 setup lastyear he killed a bird at 73 yards (laser rangefinder verified btw). There was also a 10ga BPS with a 720 Rhino and both the 7s and triplex Nitros (2.5oz loads) it put 370-380 pellets in the same 12" targets at the same distance.

I simply believe the 835/935s to be the best thing going for turkeys if you spend the money on the loads, tubes and a quality scope. And for the prices they go for, you can certainly afford to go "all the way"!
