I shot a 12 ga. 3.5 ONCE
Gotta love any one who benches one
835 with a Pentax turkey scope... On the bench is brutal. I know the hard way
I have found, over the years, that the only way to shoot heavy-recoil items is standing on your hind legs. If you have to get a level of precision offhand does not provide, find something to rest over that's high enough to stand up pretty straight and roll with the punch. I can't imagine needing that level of precision to put a load of birdshot where it should go at turkey-shooting distances.
