I bought a sims recoil pad for my 835 and I was blowed away at how much it helped the recoil of my gun .The 3 1/2 felt like a 2 3/4 turkey load I just wish I had got it earlier saved alot of pain.

same here brian, I actually injured my shoulder before i purchased it.
Put a Sims on my Encore .12 ga last spring.Got a black and blue shoulder after firing 6 test patterns with the regular supplied pad.The Sims made a world of differnce in felt recoil after I installed it.
Yep! I got one too!!!
It made shooting my 870 SM almost bareable.
When I bought the 835, Sims did not have a pad made for it. Do they now, or do you have to fit one to it?
I'm glad the sims pad worked so well for you all. I put one on my 870 a few years back...I can honestly say I didn't notice much difference in "felt" recoil.

Nope! I just bought the one for my 835 and installed it! Use a little liquid soap on the screwdriver to get the screwdriver in and out of the rubber pad! This way you wont tear the material.
i like the R3 on the remington's they are pretty nice
When using my 835 for turkey usually it's one and done so I never really feel the kick. When on the range though some kind of pad is a must. I can imagine hunting ducks one would be awesome as well. How difficult are they to install on the 835?
I think I'll try a sims on my 835.

If you buy the one designed for the 835, two screws out, two screws back in, DONE! Like I said though, use a little liquid soap on the screwdriver shaft in and out to avoid any tearing while removing or installing the screws.
