They sell new for twice that plus some change. If it's in good shape, and it fits you, it would be a good buy. I added the fit criteria in there b/c I used to have one and it was just a little too long in the LOP and reach to the pump for me.

picked it up today no rust at all it is a 24 inch ported barrel, and a set of fiber optic turket sights. and a undertaker turkey choke. seems like a nice gun, i hope it preforms as good as it looks.

Good shotgun, very good price. However....

Probably the reason it was for sale was the previous owner touched off a couple 2 oz loads in it. The 835 is rather light for the big loads.Recoil of the magnitude of a 416 Rigby is not fun.

Start off with some target loads, please.
