I have a Mad Max choke in my 835 and shoot Winchester 2oz #5's...in 3 inch. Incredible pattern.

I have an 835 topped with a Simmons 2X Prodiamond Scope. I love this setup. Last year I shot Remington 3.5 " HV Hevi Shot #5's through a Star Dot Choke. It was impressive and did unbelievable things to a gobbler at a ridiculous range. I have also done real well with a Hastings .685 and 3.5" Winchester HV #4's turkey loads.

This year I have found my dream pattern. Nitro 4x5x7 Hevis Shot through a Primos Jellyhead choke. 260 hits in a 10" circle at 40 yards.

I am using a jellyhead with HeviShot and I am going to experiment with the other Hevi spin offs this year

I use the Undertaker choke with 3" Federal Flite Control #5s. Works for me. And the Undertaker and the 835 have taken all my birds!

I was going to buy and Undertaker choke for my 835, but I decided first to seehow the xtra full turkey choke it came with patterned. No need to change! I get GREAT patterns at 45 yards and beyond and my 2nd bird last year was dropped at 42 yards and never even flopped.

Sounds great, got mine back in 97 or 98, had it sent to me in Germany and it didnt have the Extra Full or I might have tried it. Looking in to a different one to tighten pattern a little more! Briley I think has one that is tighter then the Undertaker!
