The 935 Magnum Turkey is Mossberg's gas-operated 12 gauge built around 3 1/2-inch magnum shells. It carries a 22-inch vent-rib, overbored barrel with the X-Factor choke system, an adjustable fiber optic sight and a fixed 14-inch length of pull, and the synthetic stock and barrel are dipped in Mossy Oak Bottomland. Capacity is 4+1, the manual safety is ambidextrous, and the whole gun runs 42 inches and 7.5 pounds.

The 22-inch barrel is built for dense cover where birds come in close and a longer gun snags on everything. The same shotgun qualifies as a deer firearm in Illinois when loaded with slugs; the 2026 firearm deer dates are November 20 to 22 and December 3 to 6, and the county-quota permits come through the IDNR lottery with leftovers offered after the draws. Expect the 3 1/2-inch loads to push back, and the 7.5-pound weight helps with that.
