Default Mossberg 835 or Remington 870?

I' m trying to decide between the Mossberg 835 Turkey Ulti-Mag in 3 1/2 inch mags and the Remington 870 Turkey Express in 3 1/2 inch mags. What kind of experiences have any of you had with these two and which do you think is a better Turkey gun?

[8D] There is no choice....870 all the way....i' ve owned a Remington 870 pump gun since the early 60' s & it still works as good as the day I bought it....I used it for duck, turkey, deer & just out f' ing around with the boys in my younger days and now I just use it for deer (with rifled slug barrel) and turkey!!!!!!! As far as i' m concerned, REMINGTON RULES!!!!!! Brampton Mike [&:][&:]

I have the 870 Super Mag and it works great. It is one of 3 870' s that I own, with the 870 slug gun and 870 LC Wingmaster. Just like the feel of them.

I gotta agree with the majority here.... REMINGTON ALL THE WAY!!!!! I have a lefty version Remington 870 Express Mag 12GA. It has NEVER failed, jammed, or just " acted funny" in any way. It does everything for me - ducks/geese/turkeys/etc... I don' t have a deer barrel for it though, as I use my PSE bow for deer hunting.

Get the 870. Believe me, you won' t be sorry!

That is easy 870. I use to have a mossberg and it was a world of hurt. Can' t even compare the 870 and moss in the same sentence.

Not much of a choice here. Remington 870 all the way.Mossbergs are alright but can' t compare to the time tested and proven 870.
