dbHunterNY Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Looks good. My 500 has a bit of rattle to the forend. I'm not sure how the 535 is. It could be quieter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'm not a Mossberg fan. But I am a fan of Overbored barrels for shooting great turkey load and duck load patterns. Both of my Brownings have that feature. The 535 does NOT have the overbored barrel. The 835 does. For Turkeys and Waterfowl I'd go with the 835 over the 535 if you want to stick with Mossberg.

VermontHunter Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I stopped at the gunshop on the way home today ,, and they didn't have a Mossberg 535 in stock, so I was shown a Remington M887 Nitro Mag in Max4 Camo at a SUPER DEAL .. SoI just might be going in this direction .. http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model-887/model-887-nitro-mag-waterfowl.aspx Thanks for the input tho guys I rely appreciate it ..

VermontHunter Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Now that I have the Remington M887 Nitro Mag, I need a good Turkey choke .... Any suggestions ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Go to www.gobblerguns.com Call them and ask them what choke and shell they suggest for that particular gun. They will save you a lot of time and money in trying different shells and chokes. They will swap their chokes with you until the gun shoots the best. They wouldn't make that offer unless they were very good at getting it right the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
