moss 835

Performance: 10

5/5 Love everything except the left handed slide release.

Features: 9

intuitive safety, common parts and accessories, can be had for cheap by buying used, tough as nails, shoot straight, easy choke selection, pre-drilled reciever and easily available scope bases. with a scope base on though, it is harder to use the bead sights. I guess you can find taller bead sights if you need them and scope capability.

Appeal: 9

I think it looks tough and reliable, the factory stocks have classic hunting appeal and fit in the hands nicely. The array of aftermarket grips, forends, and pistol grip stocks w or w/o shoulder stock are sure to make one fit you and please you. I like the Butler Creek steel folder. The fit of the factory shoulder stock might look a little sloppy where it joins the reciever, but you can sand it or just not worry about it.

I'd buy a dozen if I had the money. It works and you can get a used one for $200-250 and deck it out with accessories. The only thing I've had trouble finding was a choke tube wrench, so I made one. I've enjoyed hunting with this gun and shooting clays. I like the gun very much and enjoy the capability to shoot 3.5" shells and steel shot with the ported factory long barrel. I think its great how I can change to slug barrel in 1 minute.

The computer is saying I need at least a hundred words in this paragraph, so I don't know what else to tell you but buy it, at least one! I hope to capture a bunch of rabbits and hogs with this machine, and maybe even the elusive chupacabra.
