835 TURKEY CHOKES

Best choke I ever shot in mine was a truglo strut stopper extreme! Bad news for the birds!
 
Not about the 835, but just something to note, that COULD make more difference than how many pellets a certain choke will put in a circle at "x" yards:

REFLECTIVE SHINE.

Some after-market choke tubes marketed to turkey hunters have a very reflective, shiny finish, which can spook a turkey. I'd rather hunt turkeys with a dull factory choke than any of these that "shine".

Things may be different today, but a few years ago when I was doing lots of turkey choke testing, among the worst for reflective "shine" was the "Jellyhead".

for the 835, i'd recommend something in the range of .680 to .690. Everything I've tried that was smaller didn't do so hot.

Correct. The 835 & 935 Mossbergs have 10 ga barrels, and choking them down to standard 12 ga constrictions hurts their pattern greatly. If your shooing #5 or 6 lead, a .670 is ok, but if your shooting and HTL shot, you need to open it up. A .685 is the tightest I would ever try and one of my 835's loved a .700 the best.

pure gold 670 throws great patterns in my 835 with 3in magblends and 3 in #6, on the other side with everything 3.5 690 jellyhead does the best in mine

If you want to go the cheaper choke tube route, I can 2nd this suggestion and I have a pattern paper somewhere if I can find it. Good even pattern with Hevi 3.5" #7's.
