That's the quote of the day. :thumbup: I read somewhere high brass 2 3/4" 12 gauge heavy game loads produce 20 lbs. of felt recoil whereas full tilt 3 1/2" 12 gauge magnum loads can produce 70 lbs of felt recoil as well as detached retinas.

I have decided stay with Mossberg as I have yet to witness a single one ever have an issue. For instance, my old 500 pump has only one action bar, a plastic trigger guard, and an aluminum receiver. Even as worn as it is, none of those cheap or weak parts have ever failed to perform for the past...

The Mossberg Models 835/935 have 10 gauge barrels with chambers bored to 12 gauge dimensions rather than 10 gauge. It is easy to find modern 12 gauge ammunition equivalent to traditional 10 gauge loadings. No back boring nor over boring, no forcing cone tricks, no super cleaning etc. The...

cdb1, You are mostly correct. I have hoped some one with experience would chime in with something like, "If the 930 & 935 used the same length barrel, choke, as well as ammo, due to being back bored affecting the resulting constriction (choke) ratios, the 935 will pattern the same at 50 yards...

The 930 has the standard 2 3/4" - 3" autoloader barrel. The 935 has an over-bored or "back bored" 2 3/4" - 3 1/2" autoloader barrel. My understanding is when using exactly the same round, barrels like that of the 935 are more capable of holding a pattern further out than its 930 counter part...

I will assume it possible to interchange caps and extensions. Are there reason(s) the JM Pro wouldn't make a good dedicated hunting gun? I am still curious if I were to use 2 3/4" 6 shot in both guns, what distances produce the same pattern density between the 930 and 935.

Other than the extended magazine tube, what reasons make the JM Pro unsuitable for hunting? There are really only two places I hunt where using a 3.5" would be worth consideration. So, it isn't a must have. However, given identical ammo if the pattern density from the 935 at 55 yards is about...

It looks like the JM Pro has the edge. However, I am not yet clear to the advantages of the 935's barrel to that of the standard like that of the 930. I can use any extra range I can get without sacrificing pattern density or the need for specialty ammunition.

I am looking to replace my Mossberg 500 with a new Mossberg autoloader. My 500 is old enough not to wear serial numbers and has a single action bar. I have had no troubles with this arrangement, however, it is time for a new gun. I am very accustomed to the top safety and am a Mossberg man. The...

I prefer plastic centerfire rifle magazines to metal. They are very tough, don't bend into troublesome shapes, and generally are quieter. Look how many more AR-15 magazines are plastic rather than metal. Not saying one is better than another for every application, but it's the 3rd millennium...

+1 on the Tikka My T3 Hunter in 30-06 shoots 180 RN Remington rounds with amazingly accuracy.

I have a theory that goes, "The animals can sense the difference between a predatory threat and not. Like a sixth sense."

Bright and shiny... +1 I am interested in minimizing the appearance of my already little movement.

I spent a rainy day doing some thinking and "research." Tigers, zebras, leopards, cheetahs, etc all include dark or black as part of the coloration. At the opposite end of things are snowshoe hares, arctic foxes, as well as polar bears. This led me to consider solid coloration is such to match...

Part of my movement discipline is camouflage. Still hunting is anything but still.

Old native saying, "A feather fell in the woods. The turkey saw it, the deer heard it, and the bear smelled it."

Black bears are usually "black", cinnamon, and even blonde. Blonde bears are often referred to as "Spirit Bears" and everyone where I hunt deeply frowns upon killing them. I am here because I like the High Road people. More experiences than theory. :) I am here to learn. Even at my age I am not...

Typical foliage where I hunt.

Yep, it's luck. I know a rather successful hunter who chain smokes. It's luck.

No ground blind, maximum 100 yard field of view, mountainous.
