RE: Choosing a new shotgun.
 

I've heard nothing but good things about the NEW Mossberg 835s. I guess on the older 835s the slide rails used to rattle, but they have fixed the problem in recent years.

I like the Mossbergs, I have a new 835, 3.5 inch ulti-mag for turkeys. And I own a Mossberg New Haven 12 gauge with a weaver scope on it, for deer. As long as you take time to practice with it and feel comfortable shooting it, you should be fine. These days no matter what you get next year, seems like there is always something better. Good Luck!

I have a mossberg 500 and 870 supermag both are very good guns the 500 is cheaper but very dependable.The 870 is a good gun also but cost more and looks a little better.
