New toy

[knightrider]

Got a new toy from gunbroker for pennies on the dollar, a 2009 835 turkey tactical that appears to be unfired. Cant wait to get her dialed in

pennis on the dollar and 835....sounds about right

kidding of course

You'll need a bigger recoil pad.

 

[TnKen]

That thing is going to kill on both ends. As I'm sure you know, 835s are notorious for heavy recoil. That style stock will probably make it worse, I know it does on a standard 870.

That's because it's going to get knocked in the dirt.

 

[Remington700]

Nice find!

 

[ImThere]

Sweet. Shoot 2 2/4" out of it!
Nice gun!

 

[Popcorn]

Sweet!
My old 835 never lets me down. Don't need a $1000 gun when a $300 gun is better

Hey Ren, the first word on that sentence a pun?

 

[dgolden]

Definitely recommend updating the recoil pad. I've got one and it is not fun to shoot, but it's got a few dozen turkeys under its belt!

 

[knightrider]

Doesnt kick bad at all with apex 3 in 21/4 or longbeard xr #5 3in just got her dialed in, moved two clicks to the left after this one and called her good

 

[knightrider]

I will definitely play with some different chokes and rounds before next year, but good enough for remainder of season, if i even carry it. Ive got way to many turkey guns to choose from

Better lean into it! I have the same one just a different stick and it will knock snuff out of your mouth! I only turkey hunt with it, it's not fun to shoot!

they are good shooters
Now mark yourself safe from 835

 

[Carlos Viagra]

Those are some of the best turkey guns out there.

 

[Urban_Hunter]

Gets no better. I absolutely love mine

 

[Popcorn]

Go big or go home! Shooting long beard 3 1/2's #5's with a kicks gobbling thunder choke. And got the bruises to prove it

 

[buckbstr_1]

I remember when everyone had to shoot the 3-1/2" 12 gauge. Now those same folks are bragging on the badace 410. I guess we all wise up!

That tacticool crap doesnt break your cheekbones like a regular stock!!! Im glad its mine and not yours that way you dont have to worry about it

 

[FARMTOFIELD]

I had one with a thumb hole once and that was the best patterning gun with lead i ever seen

 

[backyardtndeer]

Nice, and even better if you got a great deal on it.

 

[mike52]

Only shot one that was worse, 577 Tee-rex. Almost the same recoil !!

I have the same gun now. Had it for a long 20 years I reckon. Seems like I've never owned another turkey gun! lol. It's a kick to shoot!

Not me, too many wounded birds flying away with the .410's seen it with my own eyes. I hear lots of bragging but not many will even admit a miss or better known as a wounded bird.
835 should be called "Bang Flop"!

Agreed the 835 is a bang-flop, especially with a 3 1/2" 4 shot. But you will feel it. I really wish my FIL hadn't bought the .410 for my 7yo daughter this year. I never could get it patterned to my liking. She killed her first turkey with my 20g 2 weeks ago just fine. No kick at all

Lies!

 

[Gravey]

I had one and killed a bunch of birds with it shooting Winchester Longbeard 3 1/2" #5's. If I was still shooting any 12ga today I'd try some 3" tss shells. Congrats on the new toy!

Mine came with a ported barrel and all over the paperwork it said to not use steel shot. I'm afraid to use TSS in it. Thoughts? I have used the Remington Hevi-shot and it was the best patterning factory loads I've tried

Send them an email and ask as you sure don't want to shoot it if it's not good for it. I was thinking tss just to go to 3" instead of the 3 1/2" and maybe reduce some recoil. If I was to take my SX3 12ga I'd shoot the Longbeard 5's because I know what they do.
