I have the same set up as okgobbler and love it for turkey hunting. I will say with 3.5" Win Supremes it kicks harder than my .300WSM - but patterns are great

i just bought the 835 turkey gun today, with out the thumbhole stock, in mossy oak.it was 400 at bass pro
can't wait to go pattern it, heard nothing but good things about it.
Haven't even had it in the woods yet, but i'm sure it will be nice simply bc the 20'' barrel. I've been hauling a 28''bbl benelli for the last several years, it's now going to be strictly for the ducks.

No doubt the 835 is for my money the best gun short of a 10 gauge for turkey hunting. Light weight, fairly inexpensive, throws great patterns, kicks like a mule, short barrel available... everything a great turkey gun should have!

I shoot a pure gold .670* with Winchester Elite Extended Range HD #6. And yes it will absolutely smash a turkey at 50 yards..... to the tune of 129 pellets in a 12" circle.... it will also readily miss turkeys inside 20 yards.... where all 420 some odd pellets are going to be in a circle about the size of a baseball.

Edit: Original read .690 choke... its a .670.

try the carlson's dead coyote over 50 pellets at 45 yards in the head using winchester extended range 6 shot in 3 1/2 inch awesome choke

I used to have the 835, as said its a great turkey gun for the money. It kicks like a mule with a 3.5 mag but will kill a bird at 50 yards

I just bought a 535 last week. I finally got to shoot it today and it shoots pretty good. I put a .660 Rhino on it and shot the 3.5", 2.25 oz of 4x5x7hevishot load from nitro. At a measured 40 yards I was putting between 220 and 230 hits in a 10" circle. I'm glad I was shooting it from a lead sled rest. I shot it a few times freehanded and she is a beast to hang on to.

I was wondering if anyone ot there had anything good to say about the 535. I have had an 835 in the past and really liked it, but Im just not sure the extra 160 bucks is worth it. Thanks for your input
