Mossberg 835 slug barrels
Hey guys,
I need some help. I finally know which gun I am going to buy. I am going to buy a Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag 12 gauge pump shotgun. I am going to be hunting turkey, deer, squirrel, rabbit, dove, duck, and crow. I know that Mossberg makes a slug barrel for the gun, but can you get the 835 with the slug barrel in a combo at Wal-mart or will you have to buy the gun and barrel seperately? It is going to take a very long time for me to get the extra money if I have to buy them seperately. Which one would you prefer the barrel with the rifle sights or the one tapped for a scope. Do they shoot accuratlely? What slugs would I need to use? Thanks in advance for the information.

Jeff,
Slug barrel in the combo will only be a smoothbore with rifled sights, but that ain' t all bad. Guys have been shootin slugs pretty good for years thru those smooth bore slug barrels. I have a pretty short smooth bore 12 gauge J.C. Higgins pump that I can tear up a paper plate at 60-70 yards, shooting while standing.
The real serious end of slugging would be to get a fully rifled barrel with a cantilever scope mount. Then you can really expect to hit out to 100 yards, maybe more. I would only use a cantilever mount because the scope is mounted to barrel and can' t lose it' s zero as barrel is taken on and off.
Jeff Gordon? Isn' t he gay? I heard he was having a relationship with one of his pitcrew. I heard it was the jackman!
Post again. I would be intrested in what you do with barrel choice and what results you get.

RE: Mossberg 835 slug barrels
My mossberg 500 smoothbore will shoot 2-3/4" slugs really well. It can group good out to 100 yards. And from a solid rest can hit a paper plate at 125 yards all day. Most won' t do this good though. And I only use the double bead sight that came with my gun. 3" slugs don' t group good out of mine though.
The standard 835 barrels are overbored and can' t safely shoot slugs so make sure you get a " slugster" barrel.

RE: Mossberg 835 slug barrels
I HAVE THE 835 FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, I BROUGHT IT AS A COMBO, SMOOTH BORE BARREL WITH 3 OR 4 CHOKES, AND A RIFLED CANTILEVER SLUG BARREL. I PUT A BUSHNELL TROPHY SCOPE IN 1.5-5, BUT WILL CHANGE THAT TO A 3-9X40 SAME SCOPE AND MODEL. I SHOOT 3.5" LIGHTFEILDS THRU THIS RIFLED BARREL, AND THEY FLY LIKE DARTS.

RE: Mossberg 835 slug barrels
jeff gordon , they don' t have to carry them , walmart and kmart both offer special order programs so you can order an 835 combo through them , it won' t be at the bulk buy price though and walmart requires atleast half the money down first. 
P.S. are you a nascar fan or is your name really jeff gordon , if your a fan my favorite guys are , earnhardt , gordon , jarrett , harvick , martin. i know , i' ve got more than one but , how can you like just one ???
