What's it worth? Mossberg 835...

[shibiwan]

....realtree camo. $300? Someone offering me a trade plus cash on my beater AR15 (yeah, the beaters get no love).

[planeflyer21]

That's a fair price.  Maybe a bit more for that 3 1/2" chamber but not something I would give extra value towards.

 

Those 3 1/2" shells HURT.

[98Z5V]

^^^  YES, THEY DO!  I've had an 835 since 2003.  3 1/2s are something wicked.

 

Shibi - that price seems good.  I can't remember what I paid for mine new in '03, but it was just all black, synthetic stock & pump grip, but it was right around that price.

[BLKSHEEP]

I had the camo 835 3.5"  seems like I paid $350-$400 new around 10 yrs. ago....$300 in very good condition seems like a fair price.

[shibiwan]

I've poked around on reviews and it looks like fit/finish isn't on par with say... Rem 870. So what do you guys think since you've either had them or still have them.

[98Z5V]

I still have mine, won't ever get rid of it.  When you need or want a 3 1/2 12ga shell, there are only a few packages out there for ya.  This one works everytime, and has never had any issue of any kind for me. 

 

Mossbergs ain't made to be pretty, brother - Mossberg makes them to work.  <lmao>

[unforgiven]

I love my Mossy. :))

[BLKSHEEP]

I sold mine but only because I was in a bind for cash at the time. It was my Turkey hunting gun, nothing fancy but did its job well.

[shibiwan]

It's not like I go hunting. Well if it works out, I may sign up for 3-gun and embarass myself.  <laughs>

Why don't you have a 935 Señor Treeanahafeencher (say it with a Mexican accent)?

[98Z5V]

I need the time it takes to pump that 835 - to recover.  I sure as hell don't need that $hit in semi-auto!  <lmao>

[98Z5V]

Now I need a 935, just so I can try out that "100 Straight Dead Mule Recoil Reducer!"

 

With a name like that, how can you NOT try it out?!!?  <lmao>

[planeflyer21]

Wow…really?

 

Then I don't even have to point out how all the Nordic-made 930 parts will fit the 935.   :banana:

 

54 pellets of #4 buckshot going down range should get'r done!

[shibiwan]

I gotta admit I'm not much of a shotgun guy and I know almost jack sh*t about them, so I'm apprehensive about trading.

 

On a related note, someone local is offering a trade for my three-day-old MK25.... trade for a P220 elite dark....

Shotguns are a bit different but once you get the swing of it, nothing compares!

 

Those steel swingers we were shooting before, that move side-to-side a bit when hit…those move like a pendulum front to rear, when hit with 2 3/4" 00 buckshot.  About 35°-40° back and forth!

 

If nothing else, have some fun learning the system!

I just sold my Moss 835 (standard wood) for $250. That was twice what I paid for it.

[shibiwan]

haha... looks like the trade is off. :D
