NEW Mossberg Optics-Ready 500 & 835 Ulti-Mag Pump-Actions

Mossberg was one of the first companies in the shotgun market to introduce a factory-cut, optics ready shotgun with the unveiling of their 940 Pro Turkey this last year where shooters could directly mount a micro red dot to their firearm. Now, Mossberg has added Optics-Ready 500 and 835 Ulti-Mag pump-action shotguns to their turkey line-up for longbeard hunters everywhere. This brings 3 more SKUs to their growing line-up of optics-ready shotguns.

Spring turkey season might feel like it is a long ways away with snow in many people’s forecast and Christmas right around the corner, but it will be here quicker than we think. It is a great time to start lining up a new shotgun to take with you turkey hunting for next spring. Also, with Mossberg opting to go with a Shield RMSc optics-cut pattern, a bevy of micro red dots could be added to their shotgun. The only thing left to decide is what gauge do you want to bag a turkey with this spring and what optic would you like to accompany your new shotgun with.
