Default Mossberg 835 ulti-mag thumbhole turkey

I recently purchased the new 835 Ulti-Mag thumbhole turkey series and I love the way it feels. I havent got the chance to shoot too much due to weather, but out of the box it shoots rather high and the sights are as low as they can go. Does anyone have any ideas of what kind of sights would be good. Also what choke tubes are best with the 835? It came with an X-Factor ported tube, just wondering what else there is out there. Anyone heard anything on these guns? let me know........thanks.

Default RE: Mossberg 835 ulti-mag thumbhole turkey

If you can't get the pattern to come down any more then try a different shell and load and/ or a different choke. The other gunsmith I work with just this past week went out and patterned his 870. He used 4 different loads and three different chokes and all of them impacted the target in different places. The tightest and most centered pattern was with Remington 4X6, three inch shells and a Briley straight rifled tube.

If none of that works you can have your barrel bent to adjust you point of impact.

There is no one choke that is going to work best in every 835, 870, Benelli SBE, etc... You just gotta try one out and see what happens.
