RE: I am having to give up my .....
I have had a mossberg 835 for about 10 yrs. I guess . I have used it for rabbit, grouse, goose and ducks .This year I may try it for turkey if I don`t connect with the bow. I use it at the range all the time. I have never had a problem with it. Shoots a great variety of shells and I can switch the barrels with ease. A budy has a 500 he has had for years and it still shoots great. That is one of the reasons I bought the mossberg over the others. All can say is from my experience it is a great gun .
