Default Gun/choke combo

After 23 years shooting my trusty Winchester 1200 at both deer and turkeys, I'm getting ready to make a change.

I'm looking hard at the Mossberg 835. I have an XX ful turkey choke on my Winchester and it patterned OK, but not as good as I want. I was at Dick's today looking at some Benelli's, but the Mossberg 835 was priced far les and the guys working there said it patterned better than any of their other guns when coupled with the undertaker choke. It comes with the X full choke.

I can get it for $250 if I accept the crappy woodland finish, but I can't see paying $75.00 more for a prettier camo pattern. It has just the front and rear bead which I plan to switch too.

If YOU were buying a new 835, what choke, sight and ammo would buy with it? I'll probably buy a slug barrel and scope later this year for deer if that's any help.
