RE: Hog hunting with a shotgun...
Well I ended up buying a Mossberg 835 today. Academy had the model with the camo stock and pump with a blued barrel for right at $260 so I snagged it. Just couldn't pass that deal up at all. I also ordered a slug barrel for it. Won't be doing any hog hunting this weekend since buckshot is illegal and you can't shoot slugs through the stock 28" barrel that comes on them. According to a local shop since they have an oversized barrel you can't shoot rifled slugs through them and would have to have the slug barrel. I'll just go shoot some quail..
I don't know of any shotgun shells you could use for hogs other then buckshot which is illegal or slugs.

This is the kind of shell I use all the time, works with any barrell.

Yeah that will definitely work for just about anything out there...
I do have one of those just not very proficient with it just yet. I figure with some practice this year I should be ok with when deer bow season starts...

Cool, you are more than welcome. I have been shooting the lightfieldhybred slugs. They are expensive but from what I have read they get great groupings at 100yards.
Which barrel did you order??

Question how the heck do you mount a sling to this sucker.. Doesn't have any studs in front just on the stock.. I am guessing I will have to replace the barrel cap with one that has a stud built onto it?

On my 500 the barrel cap was tapped so I called mossberg and bought the stud that screws into it for $2.50 I think. My neighbor has an 835 and I think he did the same. Does your have the hole in the middle? If so go through mossberg for it. It will save you a bit of money because you wont have to buy an entire kit.
Yeah the barrel from walmart is the best deal that I have found. Its so nice being able to remove the barrel and not have to remount the scope and sight it back in again.
I agree Academy is a great place to purchase guns.

For comfort in the field, a sling's the thing. Do you have all the parts you need, like a front barrel stud?
Our Price: $2.72[/align]
I believe you need the small washer as well. You need the two parts at the bottom of the picture. Hope this helps

Yeah that barrel/scope combo is sweet for sure. Will be ordering one very soon. Will need it for future hog hunting.
Yeah academy is good unless you need someone knowledgable about guns. I like it because I always do my research and window shopping ahead of time and know exactly what I want. Go buy it and leave.
