Which shotgun?

(1/4) > >>

firemechanic:
Remington 870 super magnum, turkey edition, or Mossberg model 835 turkey edition. Both are 12 guage, shoot 2 3/4 - 3 1/2 shells, camoed., fiber optic sights, changable choke tubes. The price for the Remington is a bit more. What do you guys think? Thanks, Anthony

high country:
that remington is 100 times better then a mossy. I have both, well I sold my mossy after it would not keep the slide closed after pulling the trigger. I liked the auto cocking feature......but it was pretty spooky on a pump gun.

the 870 is the pump gun all pump guns are compared to.

ICEMAN:
Hey high country, my mossberg does the same thing...I thought it was supposed to do that...  :dunno:  Sort of unlocks after the shot to get you on your way to pumping a new round in...

the 870's have been rocking since like 1955. cant find anyone who doesnt like one. just bought one a couple of weeks ago.

870 nuff said!

High Country.... the problem you're having w/ your 835 sounds like it may be similiar to the problem I've seen on mine and a buddy's.  They didn't put a strong enough spring in the slide release to force it to lock properly.  I ended up fixing (sorta) my buddy's and mine by pulling the tigger mechanism, cleaning the crap out of the slide release parts and slightly bending the spring.

I think the spring is so light that if anything at all gets in there it doesn't have enough poop to keep the bloody thing locked.

All that being said.... I have killed a boat load of turkeys w/ my 835.  I'm gonna shoot it till it falls apart and then buy and 870.
