Frequently Asked Questions
Mossberg 835 for sale

Is the Mossberg 835 a good gun?

Depends on your needs. The 835 Ulti-Mag excels for turkey, waterfowl, and coyote hunting thanks to its 3.5-inch chamber and overbored barrel that reduces recoil. Users praise its accuracy and comfort. Priced around $560, it offers solid value for hunters wanting a versatile pump-action shotgun.

What is the Mossberg 835 used for?

Mossberg designed the 835 Ulti-Mag primarily for hunting turkey, waterfowl, and coyote. Its 3.5-inch chamber and overbored barrel also suit clay shooting and slug hunting. The pump-action handles various shell lengths, making it versatile for different game and shooting scenarios.

Can I shoot slugs out of my Mossberg 835?

Not recommended. The 835's overbored barrel causes slugs to tilt and wobble, reducing accuracy. Mossberg advises against slugs in smooth bore overbored barrels. For slug shooting, use a dedicated slug barrel designed for the 835, which Mossberg offers separately.

How many shells can a Mossberg 835 hold?

The Mossberg 835 holds 5 shells in the magazine tube plus 1 in the chamber with standard 2.75 or 3-inch shells, for a total of 6. With 3.5-inch magnum shells, capacity drops to 4+1, totaling 5.

What choke comes in a Mossberg 835?

Mossberg 835s ship with an Accu-Mag X-Factor ported choke tube. The standard constriction is Modified. Aftermarket options from Carlson's, Indian Creek, and JEBS fit the gun, and many turkey and waterfowl hunters prefer .670 to .680 constriction tubes.

Is the Mossberg 835 overbored?

Yes, the Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag features an overbored barrel, larger than a standard 12-gauge's .729 inches and roughly 10-gauge in dimension. This reduces recoil and improves patterns. Do not fire slugs through the overbored barrel; Mossberg sells separate slug barrels for that purpose.

What is the best Mossberg shotgun for turkey hunting?

The Mossberg 940 Pro Turkey is a standout choice, winning turkey shotgun comparisons thanks to its reliable gas system and Mossy Oak Greenleaf coating. The 835 Ulti-Mag and 500 Turkey are also solid options. All three perform best with aftermarket turkey choke tubes and quality ammunition.
