The Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag is a versatile and powerful pump-action shotgun designed for hunters who need a firearm that can handle a variety of hunting scenarios. It was the first shotgun built specifically to chamber 3.5" magnum shells, while also being compatible with 2.75" and 3" shotshells. This flexibility makes it suitable for everything from waterfowl to turkey hunting. The 835 Ulti-Mag features Mossberg’s signature overbored barrel, designed with 10-gauge dimensions throughout its length to reduce pellet deformation, resulting in tighter and more consistent shot patterns. The shotgun is built for reliability and durability, incorporating features like dual extractors, steel-to-steel lockup, a top-mounted ambidextrous safety, and an anti-jam elevator. It is also available in several variants tailored to specific hunting needs. The 835 Ulti-Mag Turkey model is optimized for turkey hunting with a 20" barrel and specialized camo. The Combo Field/Deer variant offers a 24" rifled barrel for deer slugs and a 26" field barrel for birdshot. The Waterfowl model features a 28" barrel and water-resistant finishes for long-range shooting. For home defense, the Tactical variant comes with a shorter barrel and a tactical stock. With its robust design and wide range of options, the Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag remains a top choice for hunters and shooting enthusiasts.
