Hi,
I have a chance to trade a LNIB Ruger 10/22 for a used Mossberg 835. The Mossberg is in great condition. It's the older variety, around 2006, with a camo finish. The little Ruger is a great rifle but I have no use for it. My only other shotguns are a Remington 870 XCS for HD and a Mossberg .410 for pest control...I'd really like a shotgun for hunting. Is the 835 a good candidate for deer? How about waterfowl? Everything I've read seems positive but I'd like some user feedback.
By the way, I'm not a Mossy fanboy but I do respect the durability and ruggedness for the cheap price. No brand name bashing please
