RE: mossberg 835
I' ve turkey hunted with an 835 for the last nine years. Mine has a Hastings extended turkey choke tube. I use Winchester 3.5 inch shells with 2.25 ounces of #4 shot. It' s a real turkey thumper. You just have to be careful when ejecting a shell. I like mine. As for camo, the woodland camo pattern costs quite a bit less, and works just as well as the fancy camo. However, the Mossy Oak does look nice.
Spend the money you save on calls or decoys. If there are any gun shows in your area, try there. There are usually people walking around trying to sell a used 835.
