[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5315001, member: 1409"] Several years ago when I needed to get an optics-ready dedicated turkey gun, my research led me to the Mossberg brand because their 835 & 935 12 ga models had "over-bored" barrels closer to a 10 ga. This over-boring typically means more consistent patterns with lead, although I doubt it makes much difference with TSS. There were several brands & makes I "liked" better than Mossberg, but went with the 935 mainly because it was available with the over-bored barrel, optics ready receiver, and the reduced recoil of being a gas-operated autoloader. The 935 has much less recoil than the 835 no matter what loads you use. Have since gone to doing most my turkey hunting with a Weatherby 20 ga autoloader which has comparatively zero recoil with 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 oz loads. To this day, I cannot figure out why anyone would choose to hunt with a relatively "noisy actioned" pump-gun ("rattle-trap") over an autoloader. But to each his own 🙂 [/QUOTE]
