I just recently purchased a new 835 Ulti Mag with the Marble sights....here are my 20, 30 and 40 yard patterns with factory choke and 3 and a half inch Longbeard #6's. Gun shoots a tad bit high....anyone ever adjusted sights in new 835?

Looks like it's shooting poa.  Unless you were holding on the bottom of the target, your pattern should hit right on top of the front sight, which it looks to be doing if you're holding dead center.  You WANT whats called a "six o'clock sight picture" with open sights.  You dont want to cover your target...

Maybe it's not as bad as I think. Still seems a touch high

Aint nothing but death coming out of that gun!  To answer your question I have never had much luck adjusting the stock sights that come with the gun.  Looking at your targets I would say you are good to go at all ranges!

That's a dead turkey right there. Good work.  I've never shot the LBs but everything I see they make some darn nice patterns.

Mossbergs like to shoot high but ours is not bad. Roll with it!

Mossbergs are not prone to shooting high.  I've owned 7, worked on a dozen and sold a couple hundred and have never seen but a couple shoot high.

 I just bought a 835 with the marble sights too. it should come with a shim to shim up the front sight. Thats what i did mine was shooting way high too but it shoots better with that shim.

Mine was shooting high. I tried shimming the front sight up. Got me closer but I was still hitting ~8" high. I bought some williams sights and that fixed the problem.

Yeah I shimmed mine up too and it hits the head if I aim where the feathers meet the head on a target I have new Williams sights but the bullseye sights are pretty cool.
