What Length Barrel?

I went from a 28 inch Rem 870 to a 20 inch mossberg 835 and never looked back. With a jelly head or pure gold choke it throws a pretty good pattern with 3.5" 2.25 oz #6 hevi-13s. The gun is light and maneuverable. With a Sims recoil pad, I don't take a beating either.

My brother decided to hunt with a 20 ga. 870 this year. 26 in. barrel with Nitro shells. He shot the Pure Gold choke and ended up trading it back in for a Jellyhead. The difference wasn't even close. The Jellyhead was WAY better.

Unless you've got a scope, a long barrel will be more accurate because of the longer sighting plane.

I also may use my Botech instead as I have gotten a turkey with it now..
