I was at Kittery Trading Post today and saw this Mossberg Shotgun, it is a 835 Tactical. I was tempted to buy it but held off. I would just like everyones option on this gun. Here are some pics, sorry for the blurry one.

I own an 835 thumbhole stock w/ 20" turkey barrel. They're great work-horse guns, but by the time I was done sticking the Knoxx SpecOps NRS, custom tube extension, and Mossberg factory 18.5" smoothbore barrel on it I hit the $700 mark. If you can find one, I get a Benelli Supernova Tactical w/ factory tube extension.
thats a nice shotgun. does it have the knoxx stock on it (its hard to tell) ? i love my knoxx stock and wouldnt have a shotgun without it. id buy it

Well, I found out the NEI makes an 835 grain (as in eight hundred) 12ga slug mold. Anyone wanna help me develope a load for that one with 3.5" shells

I think you know who to talk to. (Ed recoil)

Soo any options on this particular shotgun?
It does not. What is a knoxx stock?
knoxx They make several but the one most people like is the recoil absorbing telescoping one. From all accounts it does an amazing job of reducing recoil.
Ah very nice, thanks!

I would pass.
It's ok. it's just a Mossberg. I just bought one similar because of I was sick of my students pawing up my Ithaca pump... They shoot ok but they rely heavily on inertia to operate so you really need to treat them like a first date.![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")

If you can get past the camo color (I couldn't), it's a pretty cool shotgun with the collapsible stock and 20" barrel. You can't shoot slugs out of it though, but with a Mossberg special ordered 18.5" smoothbore barrel you can. There's a company that makes extensions that fit flush with the 20" barrel and I found a guy that makes extensions that fit flush with the 18.5" barrel.
Saiga 12...no equal 
To the extent that it matters, I've never met an instructor at the Sigarms Academy that likes Mossberg shotguns. They said the guns usually break.
i was at KTP last year and almost bought the same model, until I found the 535 tactical. I never fired the 835 but instead chose the 535 due to it being lighter and that the 835 had the overbored barrel and which not very friendly to firing slugs of any kind no matter what choke. Not to mention that is costs significantly more than the 535. Overall I really like my 535 tactical turkey, the only down fall is that with it being as light as it is and with the adjustable stock, it has a bit of recoil.
Pump: Benelli SuperNova Tactical
Semi-Auto: Benelli M4 Tactical
On the Mossy however, we have had a number of Mossberg Semi-Autos leave the store and returning customers have been elated with their form and function. I have zero trigger time with the Mossy, but if I were in the middle of the Benelli budget and had to have an SA, I'd consider a Remington 1187 Tac...
