Not sure why you`d say that. I`d take that to the woods in a heartbeat( might stick a red dot on it first ). 835s and 870s are the quintessential turkey guns ( IMHO, of course ).

Yep!  Bought mine from Wally World 12 years ago.  It was the Duck/Turkey version with 28 and 24 inch barrel and 4 chokes for about that price.  GREAT Turkey killer.  Plenty of chokes and shells do very well in the 835.  IMO probably the best patterning turkey gun out there.

I had mine since 89-90. I used about exclusively til just a few years ago. I got an Ithaca 37 and used that some.
I've had some health issues that screwed my eye. I put a scope on the 835, a jebs I got from all about shooting and it's what I believe I'm carrying a bunch again.
Throws Winchester supremes real nice, I can't get em anymore so the grand slams are where I'm at and they're looking good. Look at lead pattern pics.Grand Slam

I'd say that because it was sold out from underneath me.That's why I never got the chance to purchase the gun.
