Mossberg 930 Waterfowl: Recoil-Reducing Shotgun Innovation

When you need a semi-automatic shotgun that balances hard-hitting performance with manageable recoil and field-proven reliability, the design details matter. In the waterfowl blind, at the duck club, or during early-season hunts, a shotgun that reduces shooter fatigue and keeps follow-up shots fast and accurate gives you a clear advantage.

MOSSBERG 935 MAGNUM

For experienced hunters and serious shooters, the MOSSBERG 935 MAGNUM delivers a purpose-built platform: a 12-gauge semi-auto with a 28-inch vent rib overbored barrel, a 3.5-inch chamber for magnum performance, and a five-round capacity.

What sets the 935 Magnum apart

The standout mechanical feature on this shotgun is Mossberg’s recoil-reducing dual gas-vent system. Two-stage gas regulation softens recoil impulse across a wide range of loads, from light target loads up to heavy 3.5″ magnums. That translates to faster, more controlled follow-up shots and less shooter fatigue over long days in the blind.

Barrel, choke, and sighting package

The 28-inch vent rib overbored barrel is built for patterning consistency and reduced pellet deformation. Overboring helps with shot string density and recoil mitigation while the vent rib reduces glare and aids target acquisition. The shotgun ships with an Accu-Mag set of interchangeable chokes (M, F, and IC), which gives you flexibility for tight-patterning magnum loads or wider patterns for close-in flying targets. A fiber optic front bead sight provides a bright aiming point during low-light conditions commonly encountered in waterfowl seasons.

Action features that matter

The shotgun includes an EZ-Empty magazine button for quick unloading and a trigger guard–integrated cocking indicator so you always know the action state at a glance. The receiver is drilled and tapped, making it straightforward to mount a short-range optic or red dot if your setup calls for it. For hunters who want a durable, no-nonsense platform, these practical features streamline field use and accessory installation.

Handling, ergonomics, and fit

With a fixed 14-inch length of pull and a rugged synthetic black stock, the 935 Magnum is ready straight out of the box for most shooters. The synthetic stock is weather-resistant and paired commonly with a Mossy Oak Shadowgrass Blades finish on barrel and stock when camo is preferred in the field. At 7.75 pounds and an overall length of 49 inches, the shotgun balances swing dynamics with stable follow-through for aerial targets.

Recoil and follow-up shot performance

We’ve put a lot of shotguns through repetitive drills. The dual gas-vent system here not only tames felt recoil but also controls muzzle rise, letting you re-acquire targets faster. When using 3.5″ magnum loads you get the punch you expect for waterfowl while maintaining a manageable shooting experience—especially important during long sits or multi-day hunts.

Durability and field maintenance

Mossberg built this shotgun to be low-maintenance and rugged. The matte blued barrel finish and black synthetic stock stand up to moisture and rough handling when compared to wooden stocks. Routine cleaning of the gas system and chamber after use—especially with magnum loads—keeps the action operating smoothly. The drilled-and-tapped receiver also avoids the need for gunsmithing when adding optics, saving time in the field or at the range.

Accessories and aftermarket options

Because the receiver is ready for optics and the Accu-Mag chokes are interchangeable, the 935 Magnum adapts well to common hunting upgrades: recoil pads, extended choke tubes, and short-range optics. The fixed LOP and factory weight are well-suited to waterfowl use, but shooters who prefer a different feel can explore recoil-reducing pads or stock spacers from reputable manufacturers.

Pricing and value

At a street price of $762.99, the MOSSBERG 935 MAGNUM represents a solid value for a purpose-built 12-gauge waterfowl shotgun with a dual gas-vent system and a 3.5″ chamber. You’re getting a semi-automatic platform with practical hunting features—EZ-Empty magazine button, integrated cocking indicator, and a pattern-friendly vent rib barrel—without stepping into boutique pricing.
