Gus Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 At wally world they have an 835 with a 24 inch barrel. On their website they have an 835 with a 28 inch barrel for the same price. I am thinking that I might want the 28 barrel so that the gun will not kick as much. Which barrel would you suggest, would be using this gun for turkey, pheasant, and dove.

LifeNRA Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Mossberg 835 barrel ? The kicking I feel is more what kind of shell your using! I shot low brass out of an 835 with a 24" barrel with hardly any kick! But when I threw in the 3.5" shell! MAN!!!!!! The longer barrel will give you a better sight plane, but will not reduce the kick any better. But if I were buying as an all-around shotgun, I would get the 28" barrel. According to Mossberg, I can use my 835 with the 24" barrel for waterfowl too, they say its not the length of barrel anymore, its the choke that does the killing!

too_pointer Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Mossberg 835 barrel ? I agree with Life, I sure don't think the length of the barrel would have any affect on the recoil.I have a 26" vent rib on my Rem 11-87. Other guns I own have 28" barrels on them. The longer plane is better for the sight pic, but I use mine mainly anymore for turkeys, so the longer barrel isn't really neccessary for me. The longer sight plane is more useful on flying targets. too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Mossberg 835 barrel ? Yep, good info so far. On paper, the longer barrel will have slightly less recoil due to the extra ounce of weight, but I seriously doubt you can tell the difference.
