I am looking at a 835 Ulti-Mag - Tactical Turkey #63102. Would like some info on this gun. I will be shooting a 2 or 3 ball shell loaded with .620 balls. I will be playing with 2 3/4"-3 1/2" shells.
I’ve shot 3-1/2 turkey loads through mine and you are right! The recoil is brutal. Did yours have a plastic or wooden buttstock?Previously owned an 835 Ulti-Mag a few years back, here's what I remember.
1) Heavy gun to tote around the woods.
2) 3-1/2" #4 turkey loads hurt.
Never shot any HD loads out of it, don't imagine it's gonna be pleasant.
Good luck.
All plastic/synthetic.I’ve shot 3-1/2 turkey loads through mine and you are right! The recoil is brutal. Did yours have a plastic or wooden buttstock?
Cheap Synthetic stocks are terrible for recoil, I’m planning to get a Boyd’s laminate stock for it and see if that helps. My son has been using it for trap and skeet shooting and the overbored barrel seems to be working for him.All plastic/synthetic.
Spent a weekend figuring which shells it liked best and with what choke, it had me doing some rookie grade flinching by the end of the day, lol.
Come to find out, a regular 3" in a semi-auto with the right choke kills a gobbler just as dead and my shoulder get to live another day.
