Title: mossberg 500 vs 535
Post by: skimerhorn on January 25, 2016, 02:51:02 PM
Ok so IVe narrowed my gun choices to the 500 and 535. The 500 comes with 24 in ported barrel and the 535 with a 22 in barrel and obviously shoots 3.5. There's only $20 difference in price. Can you guys help me decide, I'm stuck. Thanks.

  I would opt for the 535 with the 22 inch barrel. I have handled that particular model and it seemed to balance really well.

i have a 535 myself and while i love the gun. i would suggest you get a better recoil pad  or put a aftermarket stock on it because they kick bad with the 3.5s. it will also have some pop with 3'' shells as well.

835 would be my choice.  Overbored barrel =excellent patterns, any shell to 3.5's, plenty of chokes, won't break the bank.

The 835 is the best pick, but between the two I'd pick the 535.
