Mossberg 935

[CFMopar]

Hey guys,

Looking at buying a Mossberg 935. Looking at the Turkey / Deer combo with the rifled barrel. Figure the 24" turkey barrel can be used for both duck and turkey hunting and the rifled barrel for deer of course. Would allow me to double duty the gun instead of buying two guns. The only other shotgun I own is M4 and it isn't much of a hunting gun of course.

Anyone have one? I've read mostly good reviews. The people complaining are those saying it wont shoot 2 3/4. But they seem to be shooting low power target loads. I've read that as long as you're using normal loads you should be ok.

Just looking for someone who may of actually shot or owned one. Don't have much experience with Mossberg's.

Thanks

I have one with the 24" turkey barrel with a primos jellyhead choke in it that I only use for turkey season and so far it's been solid. I have tried putting some light target loads through it just to see and it did eject all but every once and a while didn't cycle the next round. don't care about that because it's my turkey gun and I have it sighted out to 70 yards with Winchester #4 XR and a bushnell trs-25 mounted on top. I really like it for what I use it for.

I have the 28 inch Mossberg 935. great gun but mine won't cycle 2 3/4 shells

I hear the for a multi use gun like I intend its better to get one where the rifled slug barrel has a cantilever so the scope doesn't need to get mounted and zeroed when switching barrels.

Im pretty sure the sights mount to the receiver with the deer barrel right?

I bought my 935 in 2009 and its my dedicated waterfowl and turkey gun. I love my 935. It has no problems cycling 2 3/4" shells and its a really soft shooting gun when using 3.5" shells. Its also super easy to strip and clean. I originally purchased the waterfowl model with the 28" barrel, but I have since added a 24" rifled barrel and a 24" turkey barrel. In my opinion, I would suggest getting the waterfowl/deer combo as a 28" barrel is more useful hunting turkeys then a 24" barrel is hunting waterfowl.

What about you sight for the rifled deer barrel?

The deer barrel I have is the cantilever style, so I have a scope mounted directly to the rail attached to the barrel rather then having a scope mounted to the receiver

If I can find one like that its great then. I don't see any cantilever barrels on the website though

Sweet so just got to buy it separate. So I won't buy a combo one and just get the 935 with either 24 in turkey or 28 waterfowl, then order slugster barrel

The barrels show up on the EE from time to time. I bought mine for $150 and it never had a round through it.

Definitely this. I had a 500 with the triple barrel combo and it was quite nice to be able to attached the sight to the barrel, not the receiver. It has the added bonus of not having to re-zero the sight every time you take it off/reattach it to the receiver. Barrels pop up on the EE fairly often.
