I know this could have went in the firearm forum, but Ifiguredsince its turkey specific I would get better responses here.

I just got a mossberg 535 22" barrel with their turkey choke. In an effort to save money on chokes, shells, and shoulder discomfort, I was wondering who else had one and what choke and shell combo they use. D**ks has a sale right now on the 535 turkey field combo, with tru-glo red dot scope for 299. I went to pick one up and I saw they also had a 535 with thumbhole stock with the cheek piece and a tru-glo, but it was not on sale,I asked the manager if I could get this one for the sale price and to my surprise they said yes . So thanks again to them! As for the red dot scope do any of you use it? The stock sights are tru-glo as well and I like them but I have not fired it yet. Any assitance would be appreciated.

By the way I was aware of the "pump rattle" before I purchased it, it only does this when you shake the gun up and down and personally I dont do that in the field. I am also aware that the 870 is only slightly more $ and an excellent gun, so there is no need for telling me that either. Thanks Jim
