Well I shot it testing different loads. I was not impressed with it, in fact I wanted mt 500 that I traded it for.

The barrel finish was rough and I noticed that the choke was not concentric with the bore of the barrel. Then I polished out the barrel in hopes of getting a better pattern. And to see if I could get the edge of the choke under the bore ID so the wad/shot didnt snag on it. It looks like it worked, I do have a better pattern. Still not the best, but alot better then before.

I still have the option of trading back for my 500, but since I killed a turkey last weekend, Im starting to like this 835
