Title: Just bought my first 835
Post by: mikejd on June 23, 2013, 08:22:40 PM
I knew one day I would come across a good deal. I just scored a Moss 835 NWTF addition NIB
with red dot sight for 250$. Sweeeeet. Im glad I already have a bunch of chokes for this gun ( including a stardot). Stock and forend are realtree greanleaf hardwoods camo. Barrel an reciever are black. I have to pick it up during the week.

How can I not see what that stardot and #7,s can do. I mean that choke has been sitting in the cabinet for a few years now. Just waiting to get the nod. I also have a truglo (mark Banser ) waiting and an IC black diamond. So I will get to play a bit.

In my opinion the 835 is the finest turkey gun ever made, I have guns that cost 3 times as much but they won't hang with the 835 on the pattern board.

Nice collection.
And I will say the 835 does have its fallowing for good reason.
That's why I have always had it on my list of guns to buy.
I was just waiting for the right one to come along. Right now I have a pretty nice collection of turkey slayers myself but always reach for my 1300. Looking forward to seing were my new killer stacks up.ahhh the fun of the off season.

Congratulations! I know you'll enjoy that gun. I purchased my first 835 shortly after they were introduced and used it to shoot several turkeys before a good friend talked me into letting him have it.

Since that time I've had several more in addition to the SSi-ONE and 935 which have the same inside barrel diameter as the 835. I've had ported and non-ported barrels of several different lengths over the years and have been able to get all of them to shoot very well.

A good "deep clean" seems to help those guns more than any others. It's actually why I wrote that article many years ago.

I have seen many guns that pattern exceptionally well over the years but the 835s have delivered some of the best patterns I've seen.

All my best to you. Load it up and hang on!

Thanks,
Clark

the only reason that my old 835 is semi retired is because there is a new 835 with a shorter barrel next to it in the cabinet. I would not think of owning any other turkey gun.

I want to try one of the new 835s with the recoil reducing system. I understand it really helps.

As soon as I recover completely, I intend to get one and let you know how it works.

Thanks,
Clark

Hopefully you will still be able to get an 835 without that recoil system.

Hey congrats! As a 835 owner, they are great guns. Extremely easy to field strip and clean. And love that ported, thick barrel (overbored), and great balance.
