Mossberg 835 3-1/2" 12 gauge mag. Well made but worst kicking shotgun I ever owned. I bought it for goose hunting and I could down them from altitudes you'd never believe but oh the pain! One morning I couldn't stand up my back hurt so bad from having that beast jam my spine on those straight up shots! It took two days to heal. I sold it the next day. And I can shoot my .300 Win Mag from the bench all day long with no problem so I'm not recoil sensitive. According to the recoil tables it kicks the same as a .458 Win Mag. I believe it!
