I bought a used one in camo 2 years ago---put a Simmons 2X scope on it---use a Hastings .685 choke---3.5" Winchester HV Turkey Load No 4 shot. It is a real turkey thumper. I have taken 8 turkeys with it in 2 years---a couple beyond 50 yards.

The down side is that it is heavy and it does not smoothly eject 3.5 inch shells---but I have only needed one shot anyway. From other posts that I have read---I suppose there are better turkey guns---but I am completely happy with my 835 because it has produced great results for me and I would recommend it to anyone.
