can you shoot a slug or buckshot out of a turkey shotgun?

December 30th, 2009 by eranio

I have been looking at mossberg 835 ultra-mag tactical turkey shotgun, and i don’t want to just only shoot turkey loads out of it, i would like to be able to hunt deer, partridge, and or waterfowl, but i don’t know if i can shoot any other type of ammo out of it, i know you cant shoot a slug threw it while the choke is in it but im not sure if you can shoot another type of ammo out of it.

December 11th, 2009 by eranio

My dad owns a Mossberg 12 gauge and it’s the very first one they ever made. He hunts with it on a regular bases for rabbits, turkeys, squirrels and occasionally deer. He had it refurnished with a black coat, it was originally silver, like a pistol. How much do you think itwould be worth?

Mossberg field/deer shotguns?

December 9th, 2009 by eranio

I am considering buying a Mossberg 12 ga. combo shotgun. It would be my first hunting shotgun, they seem to be of reasonable quality and a good value. My question is they have a model 500 combo gun and a model 535ATS combo gun. The only differences that I can see is the 500 is chambered for 3" shells and the 535 is chambered for 3.5" shells. I would like to eventually use it to hunt turkeys, deer and black bears. What would you recommend and why? Thanks in advance.
With the rifled barrel, I will be using slugs as well.
I think that a 30-06 kicks pretty hard, do 3.5" shells in a 12 gauge kick much harder than that?

What kind of ammo to use in a Remington 870 Express Magnum Shotgun?

November 23rd, 2009 by eranio

I got a remington 870 express magnum shotgun with the shorter barrel on it for deer hunting. How do I determine if it is rifled or not? Are they usually rifled. I opened chamber and looked down barrel and it looks pretty smooth but I am not sure.
Tell me if I am correct. If gun is rifled then you want sabot slugs.
If gun is smooth bore than you want rifled slugs.
thanks for helping me out folks.

Is there a difference in quality between a mossberg shotgun and a benelli shotgun?

November 12th, 2009 by eranio

I bought myself a mossberg 535 a few weeks ago (my first gun) for 400 dollars, came with a bird barrel and deer barrel. I hear mossberg is a great gun, very reliable.

So why do people pay twice or even three times as much for a benelli shotgun? Is it any better, if so how?

Mossberg Shotguns?

November 4th, 2009 by eranio

Should i get a mossberg 500 or a mossberg 535? I will be hunting birds (doves.phesant.exc), deer, squirrel, and some other small game. I want the combo because of the rifled deer barrel. I want a 12 gauge. i have a 20 and a 16 already. Anyone ever shot both or have both? help me out!
I was leaning towards the 500 anyway. But 3.5 shells are those the ones that are like 8.00 a box? I would like to also turkey hunt.
how much is an 870 express combo. How much is a Mossberg 500 or 535 combo? I have been told that 870 are better but, the Mossbergs are LOTS lighter.
