[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 2696254, member: 15643"] For the love of all that is holy...........don't buy a Mossberg 835. Ask justin_h635........the 835 is ported, he was already deaf, now everyone that hunts within 15' of him is deaf too. Ask him how many failure to fires and failure to load or extract it's had this year and missed opportunities at shots....DON'T DO IT MAN! :) If you go pump, go Benelli Nova or Remington 870. If you go semi-auto, go Benelli M2, the Beretta waterfowl line is awesome, but several hundred dollars more than the Benelli M2. I've seen all the guns mentioned take birds year after year. I use an camo Italian O/U 3.5" and have for about 15 years now. There's been a few times where I wish I had a third shot, but the zero upkeep and goes bang no matter how much sand, snow, dirt, or cold I give it is worth only having 2 shots. I use 3" #2's for everything from teal to greaters, both of my chokes are modified. Couple of the other guys I hunt with are hooked on the Winchester Blind Side ammo. I continue to buy the cheapest 3" #2's I can find. Birds at 25y or less falling into milo stubble doesn't require special loads IMO. Have shot some geese with 3.5" Black Cloud, steel doesn't recoil like lead so recoil even on the 3.5" out of the O/U is not bad. [/QUOTE]
