RE: Mossberg 835 Ulti.-Mag
 

I agree with onebadf250, it will knock the crap out of you when you put those 3 1/2 in mags in there.I bought mine about 3 years ago, i was going to start turkey hunting but i just could not get into it enought.So know i just use it to squrril and rabbit hunt.But watch out for those 3 1/2 mags.:D

RE: Mossberg 835 Ulti.-Mag
 

i never got into turkey hunting. i use mine for deer hunting, it patterns buckshot great with those 3 1/2's

Camocop:

What choke do you use and what type of buckshot for deer hunting?

RE: Mossberg 835 Ulti.-Mag
 

I would presume you are not being literal, but if you are that would pretty much suck big time! haha!

RE: Mossberg 835 Ulti.-Mag
 

I was kidding. 3" is tollerable for the most part. My wife got me a browning gold 3 1/2" a few years back and I now do all my turkey hunting with it. I will use my new 870 for the first couple of kills. That auto is way easier on your shoulder!

I think the 835 Ulti-Mag I got is like 15 years old. It's strictly a turkey gun. I find the gun rather heavy compared to the 870 but this gun is the balls when it comes to turkeys. The 3 1/2" mag loads will beat the crap out of you on the first shot, guaranteed, and this has a ported barrel. I was patterning it one time (first time I shot the gun) and one shot was all I could really take but I kept on for about another 4 shots and my shoulder was hamburger after that, it was sore a week after. The guns patterns very well. I have a kick's gobblin' thunder choke on it and at 30 yards that guns sends 3'x3' boxes spinning into the air, that's how much energy is in the shot. 3" shells are nothing but a love tap compared to these loads, no exaggeration either.

not positive on the choke, either the full or extra full choke and i use the 3 1/2" 00 buckshot
