Is the pattern thin or is the majority of the shot missing the target. Shot at a huge piece of cardboard to see if the bulk of the shot is centered or off to the side or maybe high or low. A lot of times it's simply a matter of getting the barrel to hit where you're aiming. If the shot isn't centered you can easily have the barrel bent slightly to correct the problem. Any gunsmith with a jig can handle this job.

I guess I have to agree with WAM on this one. You can't get rid of it fast enough. I put mine up for sale at a gunsmth's shop, along with mebbe a dozen others. Nobody wanted it at $200. Some guy finall pcked it up just because he had already driven over 250 miles from a remote area to get the Ruger#1 .458.

a mossberg 835 is one of the best turkey guns ever made. ill take one over a remington any day. try using a undertaker choke with winchester 3 1/2 #4 shot thats what i use in mine and i will shoot out to 60 yards with it.
