With two different choke tubes(Indian Creek and Tru-Glo SSX) with Hevi #7's. I ran out of cardboard and will be getting a nice pile of it tomorrow and will be trying out some 6's and I want to try the 7's again on a clean barrel. I shot these patterns after I shot three two and three quarter shells to get me dialed in on the board. And I shot one 3.5 inch six shot one and three quarter ounce load. Then it was straight to the 3,5 inch two and a quarter ounce sevens. I did run a boresnake in between shots, but my boresnake was pretty dirty before I started. Although the barrel wasn't to bad inbetween shots. I must have done a stand up job with Clarks' deep cleaning process I put her through the day before.

The IC did better for me, but I only shot the SSX once because it was getting dark. And I did shoot it last. It was 45 degrees here this after noon with a slight breeze blowing into my face. And I think I could have picked a better circle on the SSX. Oh well. I like the IC. And this was a tape measured 40 yards from my shooting bench. This little 20 inch barrell is impressive. And I'm glad I ditched the Waterfowl Edition Nova and the long barrel. The recoil pad I got off of Clark at Allaboutshooting helped bigtime with the recoil. I did try it once without it for comparison and she kicks like a mule without it. The recoil pad was definitely worth the investment.

One of the most ridiculous defenses of foreign aid is that it is a very small part of our national income. If the average American set fire to a five-dollar bill, it would be an even smaller percentage of his annual income. But everyone would consider him foolish for doing it. -- Thomas Sowell in 'Barbarians Inside the Gates'

Thanks guys!

Hey, it's not like some of the patterns you 835 guys get, but it's pretty sweet for a ridge running shotgun.

Its like a toy, nice, lite and compact.

I've seen some good deals on some used older 835's with long barrels around me and I always wanted to hit the 300 club just for kicks and giggles.  But I thought about it alot lately and I wanted to go the lighter compact way.  I may never get to the 300, but I'm plenty happy with 277 on a 45 degree day and wind blowing straight into my face.  Not a big wind but a lite breeze.  And the last four birds I harvested didn't know I wasn't putting 300 in a ten inch circle @ 40 yards.

Looks good.  I got some pretty similar numbers with my 535 and those 2 chokes.

Thanks bud, you to.

And thanks to everyone else as well.  And nj's pattern pics did make me go with the IC first.  My first thoughts were trying a PG choke because I've yet to try one in any of my shotguns.  I was thinking about a JH to.  But I went with the IC and SSX after reading his post and talking to Clark.  I do want to try a PG and now a Primos Tightwad has been recommended to me by another 535 owner who had great results with it.

Any of you other fellas have any chokes in mind that I should try?

Thanks again,

Jason

Brown Trout:  Do you have any photos of the recoil pad?     I have a 535 Tactical Turkey with the 20" barrel and would like to mitigate the recoil somewhat.
