I know all guns are different but does anyone know or read up on what chokes seem to work better than others on the 835. The reason I ask is I don't know anyone with a 835 that turkey hunts so I can't share the cost of trying different choke tubs and loads. I will either start off with an Indian Creek or Carlsons choke with 3.5" hevi 13 #6 and 3.5" mag blend.
So if that tells me anything I am already preparing for next year so I ain't giving up yet or will I ever.
Congrats on the new gun. That is what I use only mine isn't ported. (Its one of the first years produced) I'm using a Primos Jellyhead with Federal 3.5 #6 in mine and it loves it. ( I used the 3rd degree 3.5's this year and they did great also) I put a limbsaver butt pad on it to help with the recoil. The only problems I have with mine is the rise of the muzzle when shot (yours being ported should help with this) and it hates any sand that gets in it. I just have to clean it good daily when I get back to camp..
