I have an old Mossberg 835 that I used to shoot along time ago. I was cleaning out the old gun closet and I got to thinking that I may do some upgrades on it and make it a just for turkeys. Anyone have any recommendations on stocks and barrels. I have looked into thumbhole and pistol grip stocks. Just not sure about them.
 
Just get a jellyhead choke and leave it in and that will be all the turkey gun u will ever need. They kick like a donkey but the jellyhead takes a lot of the kick out of it somehow. I wouldn't trade mine for any of the $1000 turkey guns.
 
The ones that use the tactical pistol grips, did you put a cheek pad on it. I read somewhere that if you don't with turkey loads something about chipping teeth.
 
Does Mossberg sell a replacement pistol grip stock for the 835?

I fired mine for the first time today, after buying it used last year. It does have a pretty good thump to it, even with ported barrel.
Specs - Polished Barrel, SumToy choke and FastFire III.
Holy crap, does this thing put LBs in a tight group!!
 
I have a .690 Jellyhead in mine, been looking for an Tactical
recoil suppression stock for it. Shoots the new LB great..
though Im leaning towards a reduction to .680 or so possibly...
 
They will kick like a mad mule with a tactical stock. Instead of that, I'd buy a Sims Limbsaver pad for it and put it on the factory stock.

I am not recoil sensitive but the 835 is the hardest kicking shotgun I've ever fired. They are great guns, just punishing.
