As they say, the only reason i shoot a 3 1/2 is because they don`t make a 4 in. I have an 835 with a pure gold hevi-shot choke tube. With 6 shot hevi-shot it will spin a pistol target, and put at least 30 pellets in a 3 inch circle at 40 yards, and still has at least a dozen at 60 yards. while i try to call them to within 35 yards, i will not hesitate at 50. Also i don`t judge range that great, so a number of times i have pulled the trigger thinking he was close to 40 yards, when really he was closer to 60, and my 835 has always saved me. Also several times i have been working a bird and he hangs up further than 40 yards, and something spooks him, like another hunter, had a coyote break things up a couple times, and many times a hen comes in and he goes away. And each time i think to myself, shoulda just went ahead and killed him, could have been back to the truck by now, lol.
