Great shotgun for high flying waterfowl, especially geese. I bought one decades ago when they first came out in the original camo version for turkey hunting. It has worked well for me on turkey, as well as geese, coyote and even deer with 00 Buckshot in states that require it or allow it. I choose it over a 10 gauge because it costs less, ammo is cheaper and it can shoot any 12 gauge load from low brass trap loads to heavy 3.5 in goose loads at the same time. I've had it for about 35 years now and I don't recall any jamming while shooting it. It has never needed a repair. It will never be sold either.
I love Mossbergs. Bout s dozen 500s in my collection and recently had winning bid on an 835 and going to bid on another. But why does Mossberg put that chinsy pinned forend on a great gun. How much would a steel tube action bar really cost?

Just managed to find an 835, I like the the fact it can handle all lengths of 12 gauge sticks interchangeably.
Great video and information... especially the history of the 3.5 shell
Good to know about the slugs
I have the same shotgun and love it

Not sure when they started this but my 835 came with the steel action tube.
