That is my Mossy 935 DRT in my avatar. It is not the GS model, but it is drilled and tapped from the factory. I added the Choate pistol grip stock and bought a 22" barrel for it. Threw a set of Tru Glo Magnum Gobble Dot sights on it and a Sumtoy choke. Shooting HEVI 13 #7s, and even with the short barrel, it patterns viciously! You won't be disappointed.

I can't wait to shoot my 24" Turkey model! If I had run across the deal like I did on this one and it been the GS model I would have bought it in a heartbeat. I would stick a SumToy 675 or a Pure Gold 670 in it and let it rock!

That gun is hard to beat for performance in a 3.5" chambered self-loader. A lot of value and excellent performance. You have a variety of chokes that will work well and yes, it's is drilled and tapped at the factory.

I've had mine for a while now and it cycles all shells, including 2.75". I much prefer 3" shells with mine and the only addition I've made is a neoprene sleeve to cushion my cheek a bit.

The only complaint I've heard is that the gun is a bit heavy.

There are several factory chokes that will work well, most in the .670 range. It's really a matter of what you want to spend.

Thanks,
Clark

I have one and killed several turkeys with it. The gun is a bit heavy and mine never did cycle 2 3/4 inch loads that great. Other than that, it is a good gun.
