i have hunted with a 835 for the last 12 or 13 years and has been a great gun !!!i bought it when mossberg was the first to come out with the 3 1/2 inch mag!!!about 3 years back i bought a 935 and it has performed great on turkey and deer!!!i honstly could spend the money on a browning gold hunter or benalli but ive become partial to the mossbergs. ive never used the 535 but i bet for the money it will be worth it!!
