Could not take it any more (Pattern Pic added)

I had one many moons ago, I purchased one a year or two after they first came out , back in 90' I think-
The 835 has many built in features to the barrel and can be made to shoot like a champ -

I only wish they had the newer recoil pads like they have today , that would have saved me from the pounding I would get -  I had a scope on mine and that thing cut me 5 stitches wide on my brow, glad it wasn't my retina

I think the newer type recoil pads should be a standard feature on any 3.5 chamber gun - the new pads work so well

I agree Shannon. I wouldn't even think about shooting a 3.5 shell out of my 835 without a limbsaver.

you won't be sorry for that purchase. I bought mine at wally about 4 years ago for $289

Congrads on your next turkey killer.I almost bought a 835 this spring but opted for a older 11-87 i found and couldnt pass up.Im sure it will serve you well,,,looking forward to some pattern pics you get from it.

I've got one just like it. It's a shooter. The only problem I had is the POI was high. No big deal though, a scope was a simple fix.

Congratulations! It would be interesting to see a pattern before the deep cleaning and after to show possible improvement.

 I was able to deep clean the barrell tonight, lots of junk came out and glad that I did it, and started to mount my scope on it but I did not have any metric allen wrenches.  Did get my sling attached and put my Star Dot choke in.  Going to try to get scope mounted tomorrow.

Wal-Mart must have been out of them Remington camo'd 870 super mag, all I know is I did buy one of the 835's on a heck of a good deal one time, shot 2 turkey loads out of it, got it out of my house, kicked way too dang hard even for me, the man i sold it to, said he cussed me every time he shoots it

[davisd9]

They had the Remingtons but I am an 835 fan.

Got the scope mounted tonight, the sling attached, and the Star Dot choke inserted.  Next step is the patterning board and I am not going to get the chane to do that until the weekend of July 23rd.  Cannot wait to get it patterned.  Here is a picture of the updated version:

Looks great! You will be super pleased! Nothing patterns like an 835!

I have the same gun.  Do yourself a favor and put a limbsaver recoil pad on it.  I have a Rhino .695 on mine but may be trying out a .670 choke before next season.  Just can't decide which one...
