Sure you can, just don't expect it to shoot the same. Really, don't take the chance unless you have time to recheck zero. See if someone can loan you a gun to dove hunt with. Good luck with your deer season.

If you have open sights or a cantilever scope mount you will be okay. If you have a scope mounted via a scope mount that fits on top of the receiver you would need to re-sight in.

I'm gonna have to disagree. Anytime you remove a barrel regardless of if it has rifle sights or a scope mounted anyway, you take the chance of it not shooting the same.

mention you have the scope mount on top of the reciever. So go for it.

I have taken my barrel off and put the vent rib on for turkey hunting for years. The rifled slug barrel still shooots dead on when I put it back on, unless mossbergs are significantly different than my 870 express I would bet you my rem 700 you'll be fine.

It depends on how the scope is mounted. If its cantilever you'll be fine. If its mounted on the receiver via an after market scope mount then you have to re-zero it. That why cantilever systems ame about, so you can take the barrel off with messing up your zero.
