Just picked uptheMossberg 835 UltiMag-Turkey. Need some advice.

The gun comes from the factory withthe "ULTI-FULL Tube" choke. What are your opinions of this choke? Should I replace it ASAP? Will it do the job? Anyone like this choke?

Thanks in advance!

That choke patterns very well with the Winchester Extended Range shells. Try #6's.

It also patterns well with the #5's. I've used both and have been getting very good results with the factory choke. Give it a try. If you're not pleased with it, THEN go buy another choke.

I shoot the Ulti-full out of my 835 with hevi 13 #6's and it patterns great, even though I'm not sure if you are suppose to shoot hevi shot through it.

In my opinion that choke is THE BEST factory choke on the market. With the right load it can be just as good as the high dollar chokes. I used to have an 835 and I eventually bought a Star Dot for it that held a tighter pattern than the factory choke, but not by much.

If i were in your situation, I would go out and buy a box of the 3.5'' or 3'' Winchester Xtended range 6's and give them a shot before you change chokes.

My wifeshoots Winchester Supreme 3.5 inch No. 5's through that choke and it patterns great. Give it a try before you replace it.

I would say shoot a few to pattern it and see if you are happy with it. If not lots of good chokes out there on the market and you can try one or two.[8D]

i believe that choke is a .695 and when i talked to the guy that owns the nitro shell company,, he had nothing but good things to say about it...i always shot winchester high velocity 6's out of mine and it patterned great....but i recently bought a jellyhead .690 to shoot the 4x5x7 nitro hevishot with...ill post pattern pics when i get my shells

Great. Thanks for the quick responses! Planning on doing some shooting/patterning in the next few days.

If you have anyone around you where you are, might see if they use a different type choke in their 835 and see if they would let you try it and see the difference in patterns. Again though, the only way to do it is pattern it, decide if it is or isn't what you want then research, ask questions and find something you will be confident to walk in the woods with! [8D]
