Accuracy

MOSSBERG 930 TURKEY is one of the most reliable and accurate shotguns available for turkey hunting. Accuracy from the 930 is generally very good for a semi-auto shotgun, given the correct choke and shells. When properly tested with Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS ammo and tightened High Flyer choke, the MOSSBERG 930 TURKEY has been able to achieve groups of about 2" at 40 yards, which is good enough for accurate turkey hunting. Its adjustable gas system also means you should be able to find a good balance between recoil and accuracy.
