New Turkey gun
 
Today I broke down and dealt my old Remington Wingmaster in on a Mossberg 935 Autoloader 3" and 3 1/2 " .The Wingmaster owed me nothing and has taken severel bird's in it's lifetime ,but I just felt it was time to buy myself a Turkey gun.

I don't know too much about the [Turkey] Mossberg autoloader but the price was right and the deal was done ,so now just bring on the bird's .

Can anyone tell me about this gun ,whether good or bad ,I would like to hear about it .

Get out and run some shells through it and pattern it and find out for yourself. Sometimes I've found everything you read on here isn't always true. Can you beleive that?

I agree take out the gun and put some shells through it to see where it is shooting.

I've never been too keen on the Mossberg shotgun ,but then I guess I should be honest about it.I never really ever give them a serious look until now . I hadalready had the gun in my hand'sbefore I realized it was a Mossberg ,so I put it down and moved on to the other 's like the Remington and Benelli ,but after looking at them there was just something I liked about the Mossberg ,then when I asked the price ,I was pleasantly surprised . SoI bought it ,I definately liked the feel of the gun 's handling when I brought it up to my shoulder. Since I never in my 30 year's of hunting ever give Mossberg a second look,I have to really wonder why ,they definately have some nice gun's to their credit .
This weekend I'll get it out and get some shell's through her,so I can break her in next Wednesday.

Well I can only speak for my 835, great turkey gun..... taken every turkey I have harvested to include the big one. Anyway just bought a 24" barrell for it, and will see how it does in the fall..... would spring but I will be here!

Nubo if that 935 is anything like my sons 835 you will not be disappointed. They pattern great and this fall change choke tubes and shoot slugs for deer season ,his shoots a 3"group at 50 yrd's.

You have in your hands one of the best purpose built turkey guns. IMO. It has an overbore barrell .775 that is a 10 gauge bore. I just bought a new 835 this year and Mossberg has put new recoil pads on them and some have ported chokes. My 835 kicks less than my 535( Jawbreaker). Pattern her and see what she likes... mine gun loves Winchester 3.5 supreme elite number 5 loaded with 20z of shot. That gunwill allow you to reach out and touch some birds. Good luck and welcome to the future with your turkey gun.

I haven't had a chance to get her out and shoot her yet ,but I reallyt like the feel of this gun .Yesw I agree it look's like a 10 gauge with an awsome size of barrell on her .I went with the Remington Heavy Duplex #6 and #4 mix .I might have to try a new choke since it come's with a XX full choke ,but I'll try her out this week and just see what she can do .If you have any advice I'm all ear's .
