The Benelli is by far the better made shotgun. The Mossbergs are notorious for the forend to rattle. The Mossbergs do have somewhat of a silent safety and some say it is in a better location. A friend of mine has hunted with a Mossberg 500 since Jr. high, he has done just fine. I don' t recall any shells jamming or any malfunctions. I do recall pheasants, rabbit, squirrels, raccoons, ducks, and a button buck falling to his 500. There were no turkeys in NW Indiana in those days. Since then he has bought other more exspensive shotguns, but still hunts with the 500. I was not so fortunate as he to hunt with a NEW gun, Mossberg or not, at an early age, I used a Ithaca M37 20ga circa great depression, I killed the same critters as he except for deer, the cowardly lot would not cooperate. I still use my M37 on our annual quail hunt.

You were wanting to know about the 835, that is the same gun as the 500 except chambered for the trukey/goose bustin 3 1/2" mag

The 835 comes in nice camo and you get a free(?) hard plastic case with certain models. check out the web site www.mossberg.com
I might have to reconsider the Mossberg.
