Key Features
24-Inch Overbore Barrel — The Overbore design reduces felt recoil and patterns tighter at longer ranges, giving you more consistent shot placement on a gobbler at 40 yards.
Fiber-Optic Front Sight — The bright green fiber-optic front sight pairs with a brass bead mid-sight for quick alignment in dense woods or early-morning shadows, so you don’t miss that split-second opportunity.
Drilled and Tapped Receiver — Ready for optic installation out of the box, letting you mount a red dot or scope without sending the gun to a gunsmith, saving time and money.
3.5-Inch Chamber — The 3.5-inch chamber cycles 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells reliably, giving you the flexibility to use standard loads for practice and magnum loads for hunting.
Synthetic Stock with SoftTouch Overmolding — The textured grip and forend provide a non-slip hold even in wet conditions, and the synthetic material resists swelling from moisture.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for the turkey hunter who wants a dedicated rig that patterns tight with heavy magnum loads. It’s also a solid choice for a waterfowl hunter who needs a 3.5-inch chamber for geese and ducks, though the 24-inch barrel is optimized for brush hunting rather than long-range pass shooting. If you’re a left-handed shooter, note this model is a right-hand eject—no left-hand version is available from the factory.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Tighter patterns than standard barrels, fiber-optic sight system works in low light, drilled and tapped for optics, handles 3.5-inch shells smoothly, synthetic stock won’t warp in weather.
Cons: The 24-inch barrel is a bit heavy for all-day carry, and the synthetic stock can feel slick without the overmolding on the pistol grip area.

FAQ
What choke tubes come with the Mossberg 835 Turkey 12/24 MOGL 3.5″ OR?
This model ships with a factory-installed Extra Full turkey choke tube. It’s designed for tight patterns with lead shot. You can swap it with any Mossberg 835 Accu-Mag choke tube for different loads.
Can I shoot 2.75-inch shells in the 3.5-inch chamber?
Yes, the Mossberg 835 cycles 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells without issues. The chamber is designed to handle all three lengths, but you’ll get the best pattern consistency with 3-inch or 3.5-inch loads for turkey hunting.
Does this shotgun come with a scope mount or rings?
No, the receiver is drilled and tapped, but you’ll need to purchase a separate scope base and rings. Mossberg recommends their own 50970 rail or any aftermarket Picatinny rail that fits the 835 pattern.
Is the Mossberg 835 Turkey model reliable with heavy 3.5-inch loads?
Yes, the 835 action is built to handle the high-pressure loads of 3.5-inch shells. Per Mossberg specs, the dual extractors and steel bolt head ensure positive extraction and ejection even with the heaviest turkey loads.
