Im looking for a gun just for turkeys. I was dead set on a 935 turkey model. I came across a couple used ones in great shape for good money. Then a friend offered to sell me his Browning Gold Hunter in 3.5 with the 26" barrel and MOBU camo. The Browning is older but still in great shape. Im only looking at a little over 100bux difference in the 2. What would make the better turkey gun?
I can't speak for the Browning, but I just bought a 935 and love it. I posted some pattern pics a short while back, and I was amazed at the pattern I got. I'm sure Browning is a great gun, but I bet you'll get a pretty bias opinion on here for the 935.
I would buy the Browning.
I have owned the Browning 3.5 Gold and it's one heck of a shotgun. But it won't out shoot my 835 or the same can be said for a 935. But if you want the better made shotgun, the Browning for $100 more would be the way to go. They still shoot damn good. I sold mine because I added a 835 later on and fell in love with the way the 835 shot tighter denser patterns. If you want the better shooting shotgun, get the 935.
I would get the Browning
I've owned both.
Still have the Browning and don't miss the Mossy.

I sold my Browning after buying the 835. And I don't miss the Browning. I kept the better shooter.
If only for turkey, the mossy. Your resale and quality will be higher with browning.
I would rather have the Mossberg for turkey hunting.
Browning of course.
browning with no hesitation.
Browning
Another vote for the Browning. The Gold is one of the best shotguns they ever made. I wish they hadn't discontinued them.
Browning, hands down.
835! Nuff said!
I would likely side with the browning! While the 835's are definitely good perfromers, the Browning is a MUCH higher quality gun. You may have to do a lil experimenting with chokes and loads, but you can likely find a combo that will work well with this gun. I shoot a Benelli Super Black Eagle myself, with a 24 in barrel and a Kicks GT .655 tube with Win Xtended range #6's and I am really happy with the performance.
Personally my pick would be the Browning. I have the exact gun and she's a keeper! Had a few 835s....they pattern damn fine but I like my shotguns a touch more....shall we say....refined! To each his own. :smiley-char092:
here is what to do----- Ask to shoot your friends browning with a turkey choke in it ..... if it shoots fantastic and point of aim , then your choice will be made easier for you --Shannon

That's the only advice you've gotten so far the rest were just opinions - including my earlier post. I forgot that you could actually shoot on of these. And Shannon is right, if the Browning patterns well for you it is a no brainer.
I had much rather have the Browning!!
I'd take the Browning in a heart beat. I have not been impressed with the quality of Mossberg.
what would be nice is if you could shhot bothand compare them side by side browning is no dout a better quality but the 935 might out shoot it

Browning
if you are wanting a turkey gun,it would be Mossberg hands down
Having owned and shot both. If your looking for the best patterns with a variety of loads and chokes get the Mossberg.
Thanks to everyone for the opinions. I have decided to save my money. im trading for a winchester 1300nwtf 2moro. Gonna see what it will do in the next few weeks.
