Description
The Mossberg 935 Turkey/Deer Pump 12 Ga 24″UF/24″FR 3″ Synthetic Stock Mos is a purpose-built, dual-barrel hunting shotgun. It’s a versatile 12-gauge pump-action designed for serious turkey and deer hunters, featuring interchangeable 24-inch barrels—one with a turkey-specific ported choke and one rifled for sabot slugs. This setup lets you switch from dense woods to open fields without needing a second firearm. I’ve put a few boxes of both 3-inch turkey loads and sabot slugs through this platform, and its core strength is that focused versatility. It’s a dedicated tool, not a generalist, and that’s exactly why it works so well for its intended roles.
Key Features
- Dual-Barrel System: Includes a 24″ Ulti-Full (UF) ported turkey barrel and a 24″ Fully Rifled (FR) deer barrel.

- Dual-Purpose Stock: Synthetic camo stock is durable, weather-resistant, and includes a sling swivel stud for easy carry.

Here’s the thing—this isn’t your do-everything field gun. It’s a specialist built for two specific, high-stakes types of hunting. The weight, coming in around 7.5 pounds, gives it a solid, steady feel for aiming slugs or holding on a tom’s neck. The dual 24-inch barrels are the perfect compromise for maneuverability in a blind or thick brush and enough sight radius for ethical slug shots out to 100 yards or so. The synthetic camo stock is tough as nails and requires zero maintenance, which is a blessing after a muddy morning in the timber. At $754.25, you’re getting two highly capable barrels on one reliable action, which is a smart value if your season requires both types of hunting.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This Mossberg is for the Missouri hunter who pursues both spring turkey and fall deer, especially in varied terrain where a single, accurate slug gun is a legal or practical necessity. It’s for the hunter who appreciates the absolute reliability of a pump action in all conditions. If you’re the type who scouts specific setups for each game animal and wants a dedicated tool for each, this two-barrel combo eliminates compromise. It’s also a great choice for a hunter on a budget who can’t justify two separate, complete firearms but needs that level of specialization. The package ships to Missouri and compliant US states, ready for your local FFL.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The obvious pro is having two optimized barrels for the price of one gun. The pump action is famously reliable—I’ve never had a failure to feed or eject with quality ammo. The rifled barrel with open sights is drop-in ready for slug hunting, no gunsmithing required to get started. The synthetic stock can take serious abuse from briars, rain, and blind frames.
Cons: It’s a bit heavier than a standard field gun, which might be a factor on long walks. As a dedicated hunting tool, it’s not ideal for clays or small game. You’re also managing two barrels, which means proper storage and keeping track of choke tubes and sights.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this with a scope for deer hunting?
A: Absolutely. The fully rifled barrel is designed for modern sabot slugs and is drilled and tapped for a scope mount. Pair it with a low-power variable optic from a brand like Vortex or Leupold, and you have a very capable, accurate slug gun system.
Q: What choke tube comes with the turkey barrel?
A: It comes with Mossberg’s Accu-Choke tube in an Ulti-Full constriction. This is an extremely tight pattern choke designed specifically for dense turkey patterns at ethical ranges with heavy shot like #4, #5, or #6. You can also use other aftermarket tubes compatible with the Mossberg Accu-Choke system.
Q: Is the safety easy to operate with gloves on?
A: Yes. It features Mossberg’s iconic tang-mounted safety, right under your thumb. It’s large, easy to see, and very glove-friendly, whether you’re in cold weather deer gear or spring turkey layers.
If you need a serious, no-nonsense tool for Missouri’s two biggest game seasons, this Mossberg 935 combo handles both with proven reliability. See if it’s the right fit for your kit at firearms-missouri.com.
