i sold my mossy 835
had tru glo pro series sights
sims pad
polished the bore
rhino .680 choke with nitro ray 501L 3.5 inch 4c5c7h 2 5/8ths oz shell
was a turkey slaying machine
needed the money badly
guy got an heck of a deal for 350 dollars
with 15 nitro shells included
got another mossy 835 a couple of months ago
gonna set it up with the same sights
polish the bore out
no sims pad for it this time
the factory pad on this newer gun seems better than what was on them before
and the .670 strut stopper extreme with the 3.5 mag blend shells
easy to get the shells right down the road at midsouth shooters supply
should be good to go for turkey this spring
I also have the Mossberg 835- It's not so much 'customized', as specialized for its purpose, out of the box. I run Remington turkey loads, 3.5" 12 ga. #5 shot in it. It has accounted for 6 toms to date, all in the 20-40 yard range.
Only thing I don't care for is the rear sight- kinda flimsy, and easy to knock off center if you are not careful.
