TurkeyHunter Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 I went and shot my new Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag this weekend but didnt seem to patten well at all at 30 yards. I tried 2 differant types of shells. Remington Premier Mag 4 shot and Federal Premium 5 shot both 3" Mag shells. When shooting the gun I might of had 2-3 beads in the turkeys neck or head on the target when I did hit in the kill zone. So Im not sure whats going on here and thought about buying a new choke tube? Also the barrel site on the end of the barrel looks to just clip on and when shooting the gun moves alot. Actually moving towards the choke and has to be pushed back aftert shooting each shells because it almost falls off. Im starting to wonder if its the correct one that gos on the gun. Should it have doublesided tape or something, Its actually wider on one end to maybe adjust it left or right? This might be also why its not accurate having to push it back on the barrel after each shot. Im open for any advise on getting this thing shooting more accurate! Thanks!

lil hunter Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Re: 12 GA Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag choke tubs? what kind of sight you you have on your gun?? I bought a Hi-Viz magnetic front sight for my 835 and it just won't stay still.(the box says for use on all models of mossberg) i have a Undertaker choke on my gun, not the greatest, but it patterns decent. Does great at 30 yards, but not very well(so far) at 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Re: 12 GA Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag choke tubs? I have the same gun. But I found out the Comp-N-Choke XXX Full works better, with Winchester Supreme's HV 3.5" #6. The best I have done with this set up is 49 hits in the head neck, at 40 yards. What you might need to do is to see where your pattern is hitting the most. I fired at a big piece of white paper right in the center to see where the pattern is the most dense. With my 835, I need to aim right where the neck meets the body in order to get the most amount of shot in the head and neck. As far as the front sight being loose, take it to a gun smith and let him tighten it, you could try and use a small pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurkeyHunter Posted April 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Re: 12 GA Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag choke tubse? I called Mossberg and there going to send me a new rear site. Also I was going to buy a new choke tube and the UNDERTAKER" TURKEY CHOKE seem like one in my price range. Can anyone tell me if it should be better then the stock Full Turkey tube? I know the Comp-N-Choke is probably better but want to spend little as possable at this time. I just have to get this thing shooting better by the weekend!! Also I had alot of ticks on me scouting last week can anyone suggest a GOOD spray for ticks!? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
