Mossberg Optic Ready 500 835 Lead

Mossberg has added optic-ready versions of their venerable 500 and 835 Ulti-Mag pump-actions to their extensive line of turkey shotguns. They feature receiver cuts for low-profile, direct mounting of microdot sights (Shield RMSc pattern) and are fully camouflaged in one of the most popular throwback patterns—Mossy Oak Greenleaf. The 500 Turkey Optic-Ready is available in .410-bore and 20-gauge, while the 835 Ulti-Mag Turkey Optic-Ready is a 12-gauge, 3½-inch platform.

Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag Turkey Optic-Ready pump-action shotgun.

Design features include non-binding twin action bars; dual extractors; a positive steel-to-steel lock-up; anti-jam elevator; anodized aluminum receiver; and universally recognized, ambidextrous top-mounted safety. These optic-ready turkey guns come standard with extended choke tubes; fiber optic front sight; drilled and tapped receiver for added versatility; sling swivel studs; 5+1 shell capacity; and installed cover plate for when a mounted optic is not used.

Mossberg 500 Turkey Optic-Ready .410-Bore (50107): This .410, 3-inch pump action features full Mossy Oak Greenleaf camo coverage and comes with a 24-inch vent rib, AccuChoke- compatible barrel. An extended X-Full choke tube is included. Just add a microdot sight to this fun-to-shoot pump action via the receiver cut and head into the turkey woods. MSRP: $644.

Mossberg 500 Turkey Optic-Ready 20 Gauge (54337): Offering greater range without significantly more recoil than the .410, this fully-camouflaged 20-gauge, 3-inch pump action has a compact 22-inch vent rib, AccuChoke-compatible barrel and is equipped with an extended X-Full Ported choke tube. With the addition of a microdot sight, today’s turkey loads, and properly choked, this pump-action delivers impressive performance. MSRP: $644.

Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag Turkey Optic-Ready 12-Gauge (62232): This 12-gauge, 3½-inch pump action features an over-bored barrel to 10-gauge dimensions which reduces pellet deformation for uniform, dense patterns. The 24-inch vent rib, AccuMag-compatible barrel is equipped with an Ulti-Full choke tube. Completing this full-featured, hard-hitting turkey gun is full-camo coverage with Mossy Oak Greenleaf and the convenience of adding a microdot sight via the receiver cut. The 835 Ulti-Mag leads the pack and sets the standard for 12-gauge turkey guns. MSRP: $693.

Add a sight, grab some shells, and the Mossberg 500 and 835 Turkey Optic-Ready shotguns are designed to deliver results. To see the complete line of Mossberg turkey shotguns, visit mossberg.com.
