Description
The first light is just a rumor in the east, the woods are dead quiet, and you’re tucked into a blind. That gobbler you’ve been patterning is out there. When he steps into range, you need a shotgun that cycles flawlessly, patterns tight, and disappears into the surroundings. You need a purpose-built tool. That’s the Mossberg 935 Magnum Turkey 12 Ga 24″ 3.5″ Synthetic Stock Realtree Xtra Green. It’s a gas-operated, 3.5-inch-chambered autoloader designed for one thing: closing the deal on tough, wary turkeys under real-world conditions. With a weight of 7.5 pounds, it’s manageable for long sits yet stable for the shot.
Here’s the thing—turkey hunting isn’t target shooting. It’s about a single, decisive opportunity at varying ranges, often from an awkward position. The 935 Magnum Turkey is engineered for that moment. Its gas system is tuned to handle the potent 3.5-inch magnum loads that deliver dense patterns at extended yardage, but it also cycles lighter 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells for versatility. The 24-inch vent-rib barrel is the perfect balance between maneuverability in tight brush and the sight plane needed for precise aiming. The Realtree Xtra Green camo isn’t just a finish; it’s complete coverage on the synthetic stock and barrel, breaking up your outline effectively in spring timber and green fields.
This shotgun comes to you ready for the field. The fiber-optic rifle sights are bright for low-light acquisition, and the stock includes Mossberg’s LPA (Lightning Pump Action) trigger system for a crisp, consistent pull. It’s a system that fits out of the box with most popular aftermarket choke tubes like the Jeb’s Headhunter or Primos Jellyhead, allowing you to fine-tune your pattern for your preferred load. The price point of $550.64 makes it a serious contender against other dedicated turkey autoloaders, offering proven Mossberg reliability without a custom-shop price tag. It ships to Missouri and compliant US states through your local FFL.

Pros: Reliable gas-operated action reduces felt recoil with heavy loads. Full-coverage camo is effective and durable. The 24-inch barrel offers a great blend of swing and control. Ready for optics with a drilled and tapped receiver. Compatible with a wide range of aftermarket choke tubes for pattern tuning.
Cons: As with most 3.5-inch autoloaders, it can be finicky with extremely light target loads. The synthetic stock has a utilitarian feel—it’s tough, not luxurious. The full camo means you need to be mindful of wear if using it in a scabbard.
This shotgun is for the hunter who demands reliability when it counts. It’s for the Missouri spring turkey hunter who spends more time in the woods than in the parking lot. It’s for the shooter who wants the reach and payload of a 3.5-inch shell without the punishing recoil of a pump gun. If your strategy involves patience, precision, and one well-placed shot, this is your tool. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will it cycle standard 2.75-inch field loads?
A: Yes, the gas system is designed to be versatile. It will reliably cycle 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells, making it suitable for patterning practice or even waterfowl hunting with the right non-toxic loads.
Q: Is the choke tube included?
A: Yes, it comes from the factory with a Mossberg Accu-Choke tube (typically a Modified choke). For turkey, you’ll want to invest in an extra-full aftermarket turkey choke to tighten your pattern.
Q: Can a scope be mounted?
A: Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, making it ready for a red dot or low-power shotgun scope. Many hunters prefer a simple red dot for fast target acquisition in dense cover.
