Have a friend that just bought one,about how far will a ethical shot be?
High-probability kill & recovery distance generally depends on load & choke.Have a friend that just bought one,about how far will a ethical shot be?
IMO, the 20 ga is overall much more versatile for a variety of hunting, and a diverse offering of factory ammo available. You'll also have many more gun choices with a 20.dont know yet whether to go with the 20 gauge or the 28 gauge.Anyone got ideas on both Gauge guns?
Yes,the 935 is pretty heavy but it tames some of the recoil.I wouldn't believe the 20 gauge would have much more recoil than the 28 gauge,am I correct?IMO, the 20 ga is overall much more versatile for a variety of hunting, and a diverse offering of factory ammo available.

If you go from a Mossberg 935 to most any of the 20 ga autoloaders, that will be a huge change in ease of carry for turkey hunting.
Probably.Could a 20 gauge get 5 more yards than the 28 gauge?
I'm not into taking unethical shots but sometimes you have to take shots longer than you want to because with my 935 it will kill a turkey everytime at 50 yards but hardly ever do I need to shoot that far!A 20-28 will kill at 50 and beyond with tss and right choke all day long if thats what your into
"Felt" recoil is (more or less) a product of gun weight x payload x velocity.I wouldn't believe the 20 gauge would have much more recoil than the 28 gauge,am I correct?
I got a mossberg 12 that will change that for you!Never felt a recoil when I shoot at game, but I have dropped down to the sub gauges 20/410. Both will kill at 40+ yards with TSS #9
Yes you a correct, kinda like an Ithica model 37 in 12 gauge. But you will not see me shooting either for turkeyI got a mossberg 12 that will change that for you!
I have an elephant gun.Yes you a correct, kinda like an Ithica model 37 in 12 gauge. But you will not see me shooting either for turkey
Love my 20 gauges about all I hunt with for anything. I haven't carried a 12 turkey hunting in several years. I just love guns is why I want a 28 gauge lol. 20 gauge is the more versatile gauge between the 2.He bought some TSS 9 shot and a Indian Creek choke tube!I have a Mossberg 935 12 gauge that has some recoil but not as bad as the 835 but I'm sticking with it this year because I've not had it but a couple years but may make the switch before next year!I dont know yet whether to go with the 20 gauge or the 28 gauge.Anyone got ideas on both Gauge guns?
I sold my 835 for this exact reason!!I have an elephant gun.
It's recoil is mild compared to a Mossberg 835 with 3 1/2" 2 oz or heavier turkey loads.
Seriously, I'm surprised the stocks don't just break on those 835s.
