Mossberg ULTI-MAG: Tactical Pump Action with 3.5″ Chamber

For shooters who demand a rugged, reliable pump-action platform that still offers flexibility for hunting, defense, or range work, the right shotgun blends proven mechanics with practical upgrades. We look for features that matter in real-world use: chamber capacity, barrel options, and the ability to accept both steel and lead shot. That kind of practical thinking is where a field-ready 3.5″ pump-action makes a lot of sense.

MOSSBERG 835 ULTI-MAG is a certified used offering that brings a 3.5″ chamber together with a loaded set of barrels and choke options to cover a range of applications. Shop this product

Overview: What the MOSSBERG 835 ULTI-MAG offers

The MOSSBERG 835 ULTI-MAG is built around a 3.5″ chamber, allowing shooters to run heavier payloads and magnum loads when needed. This model ships with a modified steel choke tube and a modified lead-only choke tube, plus an extra 21″ fully rifled ported barrel—an uncommon and valuable combination for a pump-action platform. Priced at $332.49 as a Certified Used firearm, it presents a strong value proposition for those who want capability without the sticker shock.

Key features and how they matter

3.5″ chamber

The 3.5″ chamber is the headline feature. It opens the door to magnum shells for larger game or specialty defense loads. It also provides margin for users who want the flexibility to test a wider variety of factory loads. For a pump gun, that extra room in the chamber is a tangible advantage when heavier payloads are required.

Modified steel and modified lead-only choke tubes

Including both a modified steel choke and a modified lead-only choke gives you options depending on what ammunition you run. Steel-friendly chokes are essential for non-toxic shot compliance in many hunting areas, while a lead-only choke can improve patterning with traditional lead loads. The presence of both tubes means you won’t need to buy additional chokes to start shooting effectively.

Fit, finish, and Certified Used assurance

As a Certified Used Firearm, the MOSSBERG 835 ULTI-MAG is inspected and graded to ensure it meets high-quality standards. The Certified Used stamp indicates the gun is in very good to excellent condition and comes with a ‘no questions asked’ return policy. For buyers prioritizing value and peace of mind, that program removes much of the risk associated with used purchases while keeping cost down.

Field performance: handling, recoil, and reliability

On the range or in the field, the pump-action cycle of the 835 is simple and brutally reliable. The ported rifled barrel brings down muzzle rise and softens recoil, which improves follow-up shot speed and shooter comfort—important when testing various 3.5″ loads. The choke options help tune shot strings for different targets, and the rugged Mossberg action has a long reputation for durability across hunting and tactical use.

Use cases: where this shotgun shines

Hunting

Home defense and training

While a 3.5″ magnum load is overkill for close-quarters home defense, the platform’s reliability, ergonomic pump action, and the option to use reduced-recoil loads make it a solid choice for training and household security. The ported barrel reduces recoil impulse, making it easier for a wider range of shooters to manage.

Buying advice and what to inspect

When evaluating a certified used MOSSBERG 835 ULTI-MAG, check the bore and chamber for signs of corrosion or pitting, ensure the action cycles smoothly, and verify the choke threads are clean and intact. Confirm the stamped Certified Used guarantee and review the return policy details. Given the included extra barrel and choke tubes, test fitting both barrels and confirming proper lock-up is a smart step.

Maintenance basics

Routine care keeps any shotgun performing. Clean the bore after shooting powder or corrosive shots, inspect and lightly oil moving parts, and keep the choke tubes lubricated to prevent thread galling. Given the ported rifled barrel, be mindful to use a suitable bore guide when cleaning to protect the rifling. Certified used firearms should already be serviceable, but a quick inspection and a basic maintenance session before first use is always recommended.

Final thoughts from the range

As practical operators and enthusiasts, we value equipment that delivers reliability and adaptability. The MOSSBERG 835 ULTI-MAG ticks both boxes: a 3.5″ chamber, dual choke options, and a rifled ported barrel provide utility across hunting, range work, and general-purpose shooting. At $332.49 as a Certified Used piece, it’s a compelling option for shooters looking to add a versatile pump-action platform to their gear.
