Other than the mossberg 500 and maverik 88 chokes what choke tubes will fit in my 535?

Thanks

You have a very wide choice of brands and styles with that gun. Accu-Choke, Win-Choke and Invector Choke all have the same thread patterns. Some are "Hevi-Shot" rated and some are not but all are rated for lead shot, so it depends upon what type of shot you're planning to use with your gun.

I shoot a number of guns that use those chokes. I've tried most of the different brands of chokes and different exit diameters of them. Personally, I'd recommend that you choose a choke that is Hevi-Shot rated to give you the option of shooting lead or Hevi-Shot products.

The 535 is an excellent shotgun and properly equipped, will give you some good patterns.

Best of luck in the turkey woods this spring.

Thanks,
Clark

Thanks for the input. Knowing that really opens up the options.

Would there be a considerable difference in going from the XX full choke that came with the gun which is a .670 to a .665? Would I be better off to drop down to a .660 right off. With the XX full I am getting about 130 ish in 10" at 40 yards. Just looking to tighten it up a bit.

Thanks again
