I have owned both and either would make for a great gun.

I loaned out my 835 to a friend and he loved it so I decided to buy a new shotgun to go deer hunting in Wisconsin a few weeks ago. When I started shopping I was looking for a 835 and thats what I got. Many people shoot the 870 because that was dads shotgun and it is reliable.

Id say my 835 patterns better and in the case you ever decide to expand the shotguns use... Id put the MB rifled barrel against any on the market for slug barrel accuracy.

That said, both are excellent guns.

PS- when I was shopping around, I found several used 835's in pawn and gun shops in Western WA for under 250$   Brand new at walmart in Camo its 309$... you wont get the Rem for that!

Heck Bone, I'll go you one better than jackelope, I have an already broken in 870 that I'll trade for that browning gold and I'll even throw in a sling and a $1.50.  Whatta ya say?  :chuckle: :chuckle:  Let the bidding begin!
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

I have the 870 super express magnum and it kills birds. I got mine at Joes in early September and paid $295 for it and then a $30 rebate from Remington. Basicaly, I got my tax back on the gun.
