I didn't want the overboared barrel because you can never shoot a slug out of the Mossy. I picked up a new camo 26" supermag from dicks just before Christmas for $375. It is drilled and tapped for optics, but I'm hoping it'll shoot POA. I have a plain old 870 express in 28" that has never failed me and never needed optics. I can swap chokes and shoot buck, slugs, ducks or game loads easily. I also have a turkey/ predator that is a dedicated rig. If I'm honest, aside from the maneuverability and "cool, badass turkey gun" look, it's not that much better than the old 3" 870 express. Shooting the older plain 870 has never cost me a bird, it's a killer for sure. My son is "graduating" from a mossberg 500 youth 20g that has killed a bird every year as well. It has never failed. I have two complaints about that gun. First it's noisy as hell (like carrying a coffee can full of pennies) second, there is a little ridge inside the receiver that makes it a little difficult to quickly load. I don't know if this is an issue with an 835 or strictly limited to the 500 20g. Other than that the Mossy is a fine gun. If you're fixed on mossberg and want 3.5" with the ability to shoot slugs , you'll need an extra barrel or a 535 which isn't overboared. Good luck with whichever you choose. They are all great guns.
