Title: Starting over
Post by: MouthCaller on February 06, 2014, 08:13:50 PM
I sold my gun I used for turkey season and Im going to have a whole new set up this year and I wanted some inputand advice to hopefully avoid the things I went though last year... I've got my mind made up on buying either an 835 thumbhole stock or a 935 pistol grip both are mossbergs and I already have a jelly head choke for either model Im just not sure what shells to use... I want to use some nitro's buy Ive never bought any before and I not sure what load size or oz to use (3 1/2'' is what I want)... I dont want to buy a bunch of different ones cause those things are expensive! I used the magnum blend hevi last year and it worked a lot better than the #5 hevi I used before and the magnum blends are something I like and would use again if the nitro doesnt work out... part two is I finally want to use a red dot and I have done some poking and I've decided on the Bushnell 25 but my question is does it mount the exact same as a rifle scope with a base to the shotgun? some of the shotgun mounts Ive seen look weird to me...

What were you using last year if you had to throw the towel in and start over. Sling shot.



As for your question, Seems like you are off to a good start. The magblends with either of those guns will be a mean killer.


By the way I dont like the Titans. ;D

If I had to pick between the two I would go with the 935. The energy used by the action to reload will bleed alittle of the recoil off and save your shoulder.  If you've got a JH try the 3.5" Hevi-6s.

I had a Mossberg 535 last year (hard times and sold it middle of the year last year) with a mossberg choke and had it patterened out to 50 at what I thought was a good pattern but learned the hard way that what I thought was a good pattern was in fact not a good pattern so I want to get a better result this year. I've got until the 15th of March to get everything together I should have everything by the end of the month... and as far as the Titans go if they dont get any better Im going to have to convert to Houston since Im from there...
