[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 774802, member: 25383"] my 835 is one of the first year production guns they made. The metal is hard anodized in camo. It had been in the rack at the local gunshop for months with everybody wanting Remington 1100's and 870's. I looked it over and bought it. Recoil with that back bored barrel and a 3" mag is about the same as a 2 3/4" Win. XX mag. The 3 1/2" rounds are similar to a 3" mag round in recoil. About the time I bought the gun I came into about fifty Active 3 1/2" turkey rounds, and the recoil was even milder than the XX mags in 3" thru the gun. Plus they patterned very well. Have not tried to reload them yet, but hung onto the hulls. If recoil is a big factor with you, then buy a mercury recoil reduce that fits inside the magazine. They really do work well. Plus they take the place of the magazine plug that so many states require gary [/QUOTE]
