elnor Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 I'm looking at getting a Mossberg 835 turkey gun and was wondering what choke+shell combo(s) others have had good luck with? I've been using Winchester Xtended Range 3inch #5s in my Rem autoloader. If there's a good choke combo to go with those shells, I'd like to continue using them in the Mossberg. But I'm planning to try other shells, too, to figure out what the gun likes, so any and all recommendations for chokes and shells to try would be appreciated.

elnor Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Re: Mossberg 835 choke suggestions I bought the 835 turkey thumbhole model today. Love the gun already and haven't even shot it! :-) I've been using an Undertaker HS on my Rem 11-87 with good results and I received several recommendations on the NWTF Forums for Undertaker for the Moss 835, so I think I'll get one and try it versus the factory included turkey choke. Any other suggestions would still be appreciated. Can't wait to pattern and try her out on a real bird. Only a couple more months until fall turkey season!

LifeNRA Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Re: Mossberg 835 choke suggestions Comp-N-Choke XXX Full with Winchester Supreme's 3.5" #6 shot works for me! Awesome pattern out at 40 yards! BTW, you might want to put this in the turkey room! Strut10 will also add to your question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Re: Mossberg 835 choke suggestions Let us know what you have tried. I have a new Mossberg 935 Magnum, and I think it has the same barrell as the 835. I also need to try out some different shells with it. Mine came with a extra-full extended & ported, choke. It might work just fine. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnor Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Re: Mossberg 835 choke suggestions I'll post results once I get a patterning session or two on the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: Mossberg 835 choke suggestions I too have an 835 very similar to yours. I currently shoot the xfull turkey choke that came with the gun with pretty good results. #6's and 5's worked best for me so far in winchester xtended. I think I will use this setup again for the fall and possibly by the spring when I'm done buying so much deer hunting stuff that I'll put a comp n choke in it. I have heard nothing but good bout them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Re: Mossberg 835 choke suggestions Sorry I couldnt post this the first time! I was short on time! This is from my 835 with the Comp-N-Choke XXX Full at 40 yards. I think I can kill a turkey with this! I better! 49 head and neck hits Winchester Supreme's HV 3.5" #6.

too_pointer Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: Mossberg 835 choke suggestions Hey bud. Did you shoot any other brands of shells besides the Win. ? I also would like to compare patterns between the 3" and 3 1/2". too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnor Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: Mossberg 835 choke suggestions I'm out of town on business this week but hope to shoot at least some Win XR 3in and Rem Heavy 3in sometime in the next week or two. I might also try some Federal shells, and/or some Win XR 3.5in. I'll post if/when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo_hunter Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: Mossberg 835 choke suggestions A friend of mine has one and his patterned great with 3 inch federal and the factory x full choke at 40 yds. 160 in a ten inch circle.

LifeNRA Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: Mossberg 835 choke suggestions DO NOT USE HEAVY SHOT THROUGH A C-N-C choke tube!!! Do a search in the turkey forum! There should be a ton of info in there!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
