lil hunter Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 what do you need all these shotguns for. that 870, and the slug barrel is good for anything that you may wanna hunt. Anyways, is your 870 a super mag?(3 1/2" chamber) If not, I would definetly go with the Mossberg 835. If it is a super mag, you should look into a lighter 20 gauge 870, Nova, or 500.

lil hunter Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: ok guys If you already have a 3 1/2 inch gun, then you really don't need another one. It won't hurt to have one, in case your dad wants to use 3 1/2" shells, but if you get the oppertunity to do some small game hunting, then it would be a lot easier to use a smaller gun. If you're out walking around the woods for 3-5 hours, a mossberg 835 would start feeling REALLY heavy, when a 20 gauge 500, wouldn't be near as bad. Just my opinion.

AJ Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: ok guys If you are definately going to get a 12 ga, I would get the 835. It will do anything the 500 will and then a lot more. If you are not hung up on a 12 ga, look at the 20 ga or the 410 bore. It is a fun gun to shoot. Since you have the A5 and the 870, why not get a small bore?

johnf Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: ok guys I would get a rifle if I already had a good shotgun. (which you do) or maybe a 22lr pistol for plinking around with. Maybe a buckmark, MKII or my personal favorite and plinker of choice, the Beretta Neos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanna have a shotgun incase the 870 doesn't work. I've got news for you--take care of that 870 and it WILL work. LOL--yeah, if you really feel the need to get a Mossberg, I'd go with the 835.

Guest DaHunter Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Re: ok guys Man that 870 will take care of anything your hunting! Just get the second barrel. Well it depends what you are hunting for the next gun...deer turkey geese small game or all of the above? If its any of these i would get another 870 or 835 it will do the trick for about anything.
