Hey everyone new member and new Mossberg owner. I fairly recently started gaining an interest in guns, bought my first gun a 10/22 about 4 years ago just to go shoot with friends when they would go, then in the past 8 months I started buying more at a rate of about one per month. My most recent acquisition is a Mosbberg 835 I got for a song used at Cabelas. Looking at it, it looks like it has barely been fired and not much for wear marks from being used in the field. Mostly I came here to learn about it as I know nothing about it other than I had previously read some good reviews on other sites so for the price I had to take it home. I just took hunters safety this spring so this year will be my first year hunting and I'm looking forward to taking this gun with me.
I have a few questions regarding chokes (I will post in the appropriate forum if I don't get any answers here). The only choke the gun came with is the extended turkey choke (It's a 835 turkey in woodlands camo), this gun will be a turkey gun, also a duck/goose, a HD gun, and possibly a deer gun. I have some 00 buck for HD that for now I will load with no choke tube but looking for recommendations on what choke tube I should run for that as well as any advice you guys have on choke tubes and shot that work well together for the other uses I have listed. I'm a total newbie to shotguns in general so I know nothing. Also I see Mossberg sells their choke tubes for $28ish which is about the same price as what I can find elsewhere, any cheaper options out there or better options for the same price? I've seen some of the $100 choke tubes at cabelas but I'm not interested in dropping that much until I learn how to run the gun first and see if I need it.
