Hi guys. I bought a used but never shot Mossberg 835 from a buddy. Paid 200 bucks. It is a pump, shoots 2 3/4", 3" and 3 1/2" shells. It is a faily ugly balck stock. I am thinking of making it a dedicated turkey gun and mounting a red dot or 2X scope.
Any one have any experience with these guns for turkey? I would think it makes a good goose and crane gun too.

Great choice. I bought mine the year they came out (I think I was 13?). I've been very happy with it and it can do anything well but really shines as a turkey gun. I have a Bushnell Holosight on mine. My dad killed a turkey at just over 50 yards with my gun (super full turkey choke). I've killed quite a few with it as well (not that far though). It's probably the best turkey gun out there for the money, considering they can be had new for about $250 I think.
