870 express super mag vs, mossberg 835
I want to buy a turkey gun but I also want to be able to get a rifled slug barrell that you can mount a scope on. Anybody have this combination in either the 870 express super mag or the mossberg 835. Give any opinions on how you like yours and which you would pick. thanks

IMHO for the price you can't beat the 835. I have one in the black parkerized finish. It's a very reliable gun. I was a diehard Rem fan until I got the 835 as a gift. I'd buy another one in a heart beat!

You might want to do a search on Mossberg's. We descussed this about a week ago. People seems to either love Mossberg's or hate them, I am personally the latter. However, although I know some people hate the Remingtons it seems to be far less than those that hate Mossberg's. But to each his own.

If your looking for strickly a turkey gun, either will do if you set them up right. However, if you rlooking for the better all around gun, the 870 is by far a better gun. Mossbergs do rattle after a while and feel kinda cheap, but for turkey hunting, you're not burning up several boxes of shells. I personally, use an 870 espress mag.
