I have the Remington 870 SPS-T and highly recommend it. It is definitely going to cost you more than the Mossberg but I personally believe it is worth it in the long run. It will hold it' s trade-in value better for down the road if you find something you would rather have later on. But if money is a factor, the 835 will serve you well also. Many a turkey have fallen to both of these guns. Good luck!
