PotashRLS Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Anyone have experience with the Mossberg 535 Turkey Gun? My brother has the 835 Turkey Tactical and it pretty much smokes em inside 50 yards. I am wondering how they compare because both fire the 3 1/2" shotshells. Seems as the 535 is nearly $100 cheaper on average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelund79 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 2 buddies have the 535 because it came in a combo. The one with the turkey barrel loves it. The major difference between the 835 and the 535 are the 535 has an identical action to the 500, only made to have 3.5" capabilities and the 835 most of the time has a ported barrel. Both are great guns.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm23494 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 If I remember correctly the 535 and the 500 are identical with the exception of accepting 3.5 inch shells. The 835 differs from the the 535 in the fact that the barrel is overbored to almost a 10 gauge while still shooting 12 gauge shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluelund79 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 To answer your question, the 935 is semi auto where the 835/535 are both pump action shotguns....You'll like any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 If I remember correctly the 535 and the 500 are identical with the exception of accepting 3.5 inch shells. The 835 differs from the the 535 in the fact that the barrel is overbored to almost a 10 gauge while still shooting 12 gauge shells. If I were to get either a 935, 835, or a 535. It would be the 935. Only problem there is, it will not cycle a low brass shell. Now if you wanted something for doves to turkey to waterfowl. Then the 835 will work for everything! Get the combo barrels, your all set. The over-bored barrels will pattern better, which is why I would stay away from the 535. Unless the budget wont allow this. I own an 835 with a 26" barrel, I use for turkey only, but I also have a modified choke. I have used this gun for doves and small game, worked great. The length of barrel no longer applies with the patterns of the shot path. Only the choke does this now. A longer barrel only helps with aiming while swinging on a target, such as a pheasant or duck. The shorter barrel still can be use, just makes it tougher to hit your target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
