Mossbergs and my family go back quite a ways. The very 1st shotgun I ever fired was my dad's Mossberg 12ga. model 500.
I've owned quite a few shotguns of various manufacture over the years (Remingtons, Wiinchesters, H&Rs & a Benelli), and just recently picked up another...Mossberg!
I purchased a 500 synthetic combo in MOBU finish. It features a 26" vent rib field barrel & a 24" fully rifled slug barrel. Mossberg has always delivered a quality product at a fair price, nothing fancy...but a gun that you can depend on when you need it to work!
I'll post my results after my first trip to the range with it...stay tuned!
