Looking to get my first shotgun and think i've decided on going with a Mossberg.
Uses for it will primarily be home defense and shooting at clay pigeons....may eventually get into some bird hunting so I thought it might be a good idea to get something that could handle 3.5" shells. Not too sure on what type of shells are needed to kill what birds since i'm new to all of this
My buddy has an 835 and it's pretty nice....i think it's a turkey model because he said it came with front and rear fiber optic sights.
Went on Mossbergs website to take a look at the 835 and came across the 535....couldn't really tell what the difference was between the two.
My buddy said that his 835 kicks really hard using the 3.5 shells...is this true of any shotgun using magnum loads or is the 835 more prone to others with recoil?
So I guess which would be better to get....835 or 535 (or perhaps something else)....also which model would work best given my intended applications? Turkey, field, waterfowl, etc?
