Mossberg 835 or 535?
I'm planning to buy a new shotgun mainly for turkey hunting and I really like Mossberg due to their safety being in the perfect position. I want to be able to shoot 3.5 " shells so I've narrowed it down to the 835 or the 535. I figured I'd check with you guys to see which you recommend. Pros VS cons would be great, and of course your personal experiences and opinions are welcome.
Thanks, Isaac.

Re: Mossberg 835 or 535?
I can't give a direct comparison as I have only owned the 835, but one thing that may or may not become an issue for you is the local availability of choke tubes. It is a pain to find the Accumag chokes, but then again ordering them online is not difficult.
If the 535 can shoot slugs I would prefer it over my 835. The "benefit" of the overbored (10 ga) barrel is shadowed by the fact that if I want to hunt deer with it, I need to use buckshot.
