I have one of those guns and I recommend a comp-n-choke xxfull with 3 inch Winchester Supreme number 5 or 6 shot.

Comp N Choke as mentioned works well. The factory tube in my 835 does really well with 3.5 inch #4's also if you don't want to spend any money at all.

I'd shoot several different loads and ranges to see what does the best out of the factory first and if you're not happy look for after market tubes.

I have the same gun and use the stock extra full choke for turkey hunting. Great pattern at up to 40ish yards using #4's.

I just bought a Primos Jellyhead for my SBE II. Haven't had time to pattern it yet, but I will be shooting Hevi-Shot and Winchester X-tended Range. I used to shoot a Remington 870 and I just used the factory turkey choke and it did fine shooting 3 inch #5 Hevi-Shot - that stuff hits 'em hard!!

I have a jellyhead for my benelli nova. It patterned very well for my gun. I use federal 5 shot 3 1/2 shells.

You will never know until you try. Anyone who'll tell you with certainty that your shotgun will shoot a certain pattern with a certain load and a certain choke is just blowing smoke up your skirt. You'll just have to try a combination and see what works. I have a combination that I've stuck with for over 10 years, and it shoots a nice tight pattern. However, the next guy might have the same combination shoot miserably out of his gun. You just never know.

I'll tell you another thing too: make sure you take your shotgun out every Spring and pattern it. I shot #4 for several years, then started having better luck with #5's. Then a few years later, the #4's were patterning better again. Same shotgun, same choke, the only difference was buying new ammo each year. Whodathunk?

I have a Primos Jellyhead in both of my turkey guns. One is a Benelli supernova & the other is a Mossberg 835 ultra-mag. That choke works GREAT in both of those guns.
