mossberg shotguns

[huntinhick]

well I am planning on picking up a shot gun at the end of the year and have been thinking about a mossberg 930, 935 or 835.  I will use it to hunt ducks, turkeys and as a back up when predator hunting.  I plan on buying it with a 28" barrel and picking up a 24 for turkeys and yotes.  I was leaning towards the 930 so I can shot 2 3/4 for clays but what do you all think?  I would go 935 if it shoots the cheap walmart bulk field loads good,  they are great for pratice.  and of course the 835 will shoot anything.

thanks

I have the 835 and it works good never had a problem with it. and there not too  expensive either.

I shoot the 835 it  is is great for the money but is a very heavy gun.  But in the salt water it destroys guns so I shoot a cheaper gun.   Remember its usually not the gun its the shooter.  Find the gun that best fits you and is comfortable for you.  A proper fit will lead to better accuracy.

I have a model 500 that I bought in IDaho, and love it, and for 200 bucks I thought it was a steal

I have an 835 and it is a very solid gun. There are three downsizes to it though. First, it is a HEAVY gun. It weights a lot. Second, you can't shoot slugs through it as it is a 10 bore. Third, the fore stock is a long way away, if you have short arms it may feel like you are really stretching. I notice this when I am holding it and prepping to shoot clays, but it goes away the second I start firing.

I have been contemplating getting a 935 as a field gun. The one downside I have read in nearly every review is that it does not like the really lite loads.

My 835 has been a workhorse.  Bought it shortly after they first came out and never had a problem.  It's been in salt marshes, snow and ice, plenty of mud and always performed.   It is heavy but shooting 3 1/2 shells I wouldn't want lighter.

I carried a 500 around Iraq and it never failed me.  Great, durable gun.
