Mossberg 835 ulti-mag
 

Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone has any experience with an 835 Mossberg, I just took one in on trade and was wondering what to expect, it has the 28" barrel, and came with 4 Mossberg Accu-Mag chokes, a leadshot full, a leadshot modified, a leadshot I/C, and a steelshot X-Full. so what can I expect? I mostly picked this shotgun up for Turkey hunting this spring because of the 3 and a half inch chamber.

Love mine for turkey, have it now for roughly 14 years. I use a Indian Creek Turkey Choke, an Hevi-Shot 13, 3.5", 2.25oz, #6

I love mine, I shoot 3 1/2 5's in it and man will it through a pattern. I killed both of my birds and my brother killed his bird with it at about 65 yards, layed the smack down on him. It does kick but all well i still ove it.

X2 for me. Haven't shot that far, 52 yards for me. Don't want to take those shots very often but, it is nice to know you can if needed.

I had an 835 about 10yrs ago. It jammed on me all the time. Though I was using it for waterfowl, not turkeys.
I sold it to a friend who even after tearing it all down and cleaning it very thoroughly, still jammed frequently.

The 835 is a bad ass turkey gun.. probably the number 1 pump turk gun out there... I have an 835 thats been retired to a goose gun lately since I replaced it with my new gun.... but that system is no slouch

This is the combo that I use in mine.

I love mine, use it for turkey only. I will admit it doesn't really like the 3 1/2" shells (jams sometimes) and it kicks like a mule, but on the plus side, it's light, fairly inexpensive, and mine has a 21" barrel.

Like all turkey guns, you'll probably have to experiment with choke/ammo combinations, unless the previous owner has already done the homework. I sent mine to Rob Roberts to get fine-tuned, in the end it cost less $$ than buying chokes and turkey loads. I've got it now to where it throws a pattern the size of my steering wheel at 50 yards.

I love my Mossberg 835 it is a great Turkey gun. enjoy

I won a 835 at a NWTF banquet several years ago. I have taken many birds since I have had it. I replaced the original choke tube that came with the gun this past year with the Jelly Head tube. Seems to have worked out fine so far this year, doubled on a pair of birds in early May. I use Federal copper plated 3" # 6 shells. I am too old to be shooting those 3 1/2 shoulder busters.
