There are several good chokes to use in the 835/935 but in my evaluations both with WLB shells and Hevi-13 shells the Hevi-13 choke and the SSX were outstanding with good numbers and no 2" or larger gaps in the patterns. Both those evaluations were conducted in the low to mid 50s and I'd expect to see even better numbers as temperatures rise.

Thanks,

I shoot the 835 with Hevi 7's though a .670 Pure Gold also (300 plus at 40).  I will be experimenting with the 5 and 6 LB's when my stash of 7's run out.  I've got 3 boxes of each on hand to run though the Pure Gold, a .675 IC and a .676 Stardot.

I was able to shoot 3 longbeard 5'5 a while back and was absolutely amazed at the pattern I got with Mossbergs x-factor choke. I also shot the hevi13 choke as well but it did not perform as well as the x- factor. Maybe those shells like the 695 constriction more than the 676. I don't have the answer but I think that these shells may allow a guy to buy a cheaper choke like an Undertaker and have all the pattern they need.
Jakes are like scotch. They are not worth a darn until they age.
