Just a B.A.D. experence on my part,but from my point. Stay away from the 835 ultra-mag."BIG TROUBLE"
I had one and never had anything except trouble,would not reload a shell when the empty came out.Mossberg could not fix it(sent it back two times). then got rid of it(thank goodness)
It also kicked like a full grown mule.if you shoot the 3 1/2" shells.for the kick problem you can use 2 3/4 or 3" shells and not suffer near as much.

A Browning BPS 3" will give you the better gun all the way around.
look into the guns a looooooong time befor making a decision.
I would pay for a Browning or Remington twice,befor I would take a Mossgerg for FREE!!!<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle>.

I know there are some people that feel the same about other guns also.that is why they make Mossberg,Browning,remington and savage.
Just my 2 cents,there are 98 more!!!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>.
