I just bought a mossberg 835 turkey gun (in mossy oak camo). I have looked it over now that I have it at home, and all though some assemble was required (slid in barrel, tighten down special nut on mag. tube) it looks like its gona be a great turkey gun.
It came with some fiber optic sights, and while I am leary of haveing a red any thing on my persons or just plain near me while hunting turkeys[&:][:'(] (safty issue here, there are some crazy dudes in the woods some times!!) I don't think it will be a problem.[>:]
I have put a few rounds through it (3 1/2" winchester #6) and recoil was really light.

I have one gripe, the sights on mine are gona need to be changed out. the rear one had a little set screw in it before shooting at the range and now is no where to be found. plus the front sight is red, And I really dont like haveing any thing that looks like any thing thats in season on my persons while hunting. just seems like it would draw fire twards me and naturally Id like to avoid that. [:-]
My old turkey gun had a white bead at the muzzle and a copper (looked copper) littler bead about half way back. It was a good tuff system. Im headed over to the mosberg web site to see if I can get a set reall cheap for this new gun. if not I might shop the turkey scopes.
well thats my review of the mossberg 835 turkey gun.
thanks all,
