Buddy of mine came buy w/ a very clean camo 835 and offered it up at $100 less than retail. As Bamaboy is in need for a turkey gun, him using mine to kill his first 2 this season, I bought it. This is the 24" gun w/ single bead FO sight and it came with 4 choke tubes, 2 extended turkey fulls, a factory flush full and an IC.
I've heard about the recoil on the alloy framed guns, but we don't intend to shoot 3.5's in it, maybe not even 3" shells, as 2-3/4" short mags worked fine this year for the kid. Likely will get a kick-eeze pad as a matter of routine. Could use more than the single bead sight, but that's an accessory issue and easily addressed.
We will pattern the gun and be ready next year.
What's the collective opinion on the 835?
