"bowhuntercop" said it....that's what I said the other day on here. The Mossberg 835 is a great gun. that's what I have. the option to shoot the 3.5 is awesome. You can mount like a red dot scope or something on it if you wanted for turkey hunting or deer hunting and take it off for wing shooting or shooting into thick brush etc. That gun is a beast. Ive dropped mine, lost it, shut it in the hatch door of my jeep, all kinds of stupid things and it shoots perfect. It doesn't really like the cheaper ammo, like it shoots federal coppers better than just regular federals. And they are priced affordable and you can find them anywhere and in any camo pattern or black.
