New 835 Tactical Turkey
March 26, 2011, 02:42:22 PM
Just picked up a Mossberg 835 tactical turkey. Currently have a Primos Jellyhead with a .690 diameter in it. A 3 1/2 inch Nitro 4x5x7 put 198 pellets in a 10 inch circle at 40 yards. Definately a dead turkey but if I were to try another choke which would you guys recomend between the .675 diameter IC and the .670 diameter Pure Gold? Or for that matter I'm open to suggestions on any chokes at all. Or should I leave well enough alone? LOL!

I would try the pure gold with that combo. Or I would seriously think about a rhino
I have seen some real patterns with that choke shell combo.

I have no experience with Nitro shells but with all of the others, I'd certainly recommend a .670. It just seems to work best with 835 & 935 barrels.
Thanks,

I was lucky enough to stumble across one in the classified section. That's hell of a pattern with 3"

Todd, I have the 835 tactical on order. Should be here in a few days. Clark's SSX (.670) is on the way. Can't wait to pattern.
Glad you like it!

Sweet looking shooter! I hope mine looks as good as yours when it comes back from hydrographics. I'm also in the market for a choke. I'm shootin Heavy 13, #5's, and Magnum Blend, 2oz.

A .670 with that load will more than likely blow the pattern. From my limited experience with Nitros they like the more open choke, Nitro recommends the more open chokes. I would not be against trying a IC .675. The 835s and 935s seem to do best in the .675 range.
Personally if it was me I would not change a thing from what you have. It is a hunting pattern that will kill 40 yards every time with some wiggle room for nerves and minor yard misjudgment. Turkeys on the ground mean a whole lot more than holes in paper. Good luck!

I agree with davisd9. That's a killing pattern there! How's the 20" look?
