![]() Parts for the 835 are readily available from Mossberg. It takes 590 series of tube extensions, which can be really fun. The total ammunition capacity on the 835 is 5+1 when it comes to 2.75 or 3-inch shells, dropping to 4+1 with the super mags.

Besides waterfowl, I've since used it for small game, upland birds, deer, crows, an opportune shot on a coyote, hogs, and even a couple of times for clays.īut what about mah velocity, baby?

As I hunt in some of the thickest marshes on the planet (the Navy SEALs train for riverine combat in the same river system), the shorter length over my old BPS helps. I discovered that I liked the shorter 24-inch barrel for fieldwork as I found it remarkably faster when swinging up, not to mention easier to handle in the boat and blind. On the downside, this also means you can't use slugs in the 835 series, with Mossberg cautioning, "We specifically disclaim any responsibility for damage or injury resulting from firing slugs (single projectile ammunition) through overbored barrels."
