I have an 835 and currently shoot a 0.690 Indian creek using primarily #5 longbeard shells. I'm considering getting the indian creek  0.675 construction for my gun but am not sure whether or not there will be a noticeable difference. Pros and cons of the 0.690 or 0.675?

There's a used .675 Indian Creek for sale in the classifieds that's cheap enough to pick up and try out.  That's what I'd do, with .015 difference I bet you'd notice a difference one way or another.

Yes you will notice a difference. I have a .695, .675 & a ..660
All throw different patterns through my 835
The .660 is extremely tight. I like the pattern of the .675  puts over 200 6's in a 10" circle at 40 yards every time. The pattern is very uniformed. Perfect for hunting.

Just bought it. Can always sell the one that's not as good. I'm sure they're fairly sought after used

I just recently discovered that my 835 with the Indian creek .675 and long beard 3.5"  2oz #5 will put over 200 hits in a ten at 40 yds when temps are above 65 degrees. At 50 degrees it averages 190ish and at 40 degrees it averages 180ish. Best pattern with them so far was 224 in ten at 40yds at 72 degrees. I have no experience with the other Indian creek chokes for this gun but since you inquired about the 675 choke I figured I'd share my experience with it. It was the best best performing choke I have with long beard #5's.
