Here’s the thing—for under $500, you’re getting a hunting system. The 28″ barrel with its included choke tubes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, Full) is your go-to for ducks over decoys or clays. Swap to the shorter, fiber-optic-equipped 22″ barrel, and you have a maneuverable turkey or deer slug gun. The synthetic stock is durable and requires minimal maintenance, a real plus for hunters trudging through Missouri marshes or brush. At a total weight around 7.5 lbs, it’s manageable for long days afield. The real bang-for-buck comes from this flexibility; it’s like buying two specialized guns for the price of one. This model is drop-in ready with the included barrels, requiring no gunsmithing to switch between hunting roles. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This Mossberg combo is built for the practical, budget-conscious hunter. It’s ideal for the new hunter looking for a single, do-it-all first shotgun, or the seasoned hunter who wants a reliable, no-frills backup gun for multiple game species. If your hunting year includes turkey in the spring, doves in September, and waterfowl in the winter, this one package covers those bases without breaking the bank. It’s also a solid choice for landowners needing a dependable tool for pest control or home defense with the shorter barrel installed.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional value for a two-barrel system. The ability to shoot 3.5″ magnums offers maximum power when needed. Synthetic stock is tough and weatherproof. Ambidextrous safety is a user-friendly feature. Mossberg’s reputation for reliability in the field.
Cons: The pump action has a learning curve versus an autoloader for follow-up shots. Synthetic stock may not have the classic feel of wood. The 3.5″ chamber can make shooting light 2¾” target loads feel a bit sluggish due to the longer chamber jump. That said, for its price of $480.05, these are practical trade-offs most hunters will gladly accept for the versatility gained.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What choke tubes are included with the 28″ barrel?
A: The Mossberg 535 ATS Combo typically includes a set of Accu-Choke tubes: Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full. These cover everything from close-range patterns to long-range waterfowl shooting. The 22″ turkey barrel usually comes with an extra-full choke tube installed.
Q: Can I use this for deer hunting in Missouri?
A: Absolutely. With the 22″ barrel installed, you can use rifled slugs for deer in shotgun-only zones. Just ensure you use the appropriate choke tube for slugs (often Cylinder or Improved Cylinder) and verify your ammunition is compatible. Always check current Missouri Department of Conservation regulations.
Q: Is the receiver drilled and tapped for a scope mount?
A: Yes, the receiver is pre-drilled and tapped, making it easy to add a scope base for use with the turkey barrel or for slug shooting. Popular one-piece base models from brands like EGW or Weaver are compatible, allowing you to mount a red dot or low-power scope.
