Hey my brother talked me out of buying an 835. He told me the were real heavy and kicked real bad. Do any of you all have a 500. I was looking at the 12 ga. Pump Action, Woodlands Camo finish, synthetic stock, Ported 24" VR Accu-Choke barrel w/ XX-Full Turkey choke tube and Fiber Optic sights. Sounds like a good gun to me. if ya have one could ya tell me how they pattern, how far they can reach, and if you have had any problems with them. Thanks.
