That gun looks awfully familiar... Kinda looks like the one in my house that got a new Indian Creek choke today, a no frills, awesome shooting gun... Sweet looking striker too!!!

I have the 535 as well... Shot a pretty solid pattern with Hevi 6s and Mag Blends, and awesome patterns with Hevi 7s... I bought the Hevi-Shot choke made by Carlson's right after I bought the gun (I believe it's a .655) and the gun shot significantly better patterns with the factory turkey choke that came with the gun (.670 I think).... Like I said I just purchased the Indian Creek choke in a .665 and I'm very anxious to see how the gun likes it.

i dont think its the gun/choke that are having problems i think its the shells im using. Im shooting lead i dont really want to spend a hole lot for just 5 shots lol.  and are you using the long barrel or the shorter one?
