Mossberg 810?
« on: March 14, 2007, 06:00:44 AM »
Saw a nice Westernfield 732, found out it was a Mossberg 810 sold at Montgomery Wards. Any one know about these 810's? Good? Bad?
Thanks!

I assume thats a 30-06 bolt action??

I don't know anything about the 810's, I have a 800A (.308) that shoots like an absolute champ.  Also have a Westernfield 550 shotgun, which is actually a Mossberg 500 -- best shottie I've ever handled.  So, from my experience with other models if its a good price I would grab it, but thats just me.

Yes, 30-06. But I believe there are other calibers?
Do you know if the 800 and 810 are related? I didn't get that feeling from the Gun Bibles.
Thanks
Tony

I know the 810 came in 30/06, 7mm rem mag, 270, & 338 win mag.  The 800 came in 308, 243, 22/250, & 222 rem.  I believe they were made sometime in the '70's, I've actually seen an old magazine ad with both listed on it.  How they are related, and if they are related...other than being Mossbergs...is something I have no clue of.

Found some info for you!!
This site seems to have some good info:  http://www.pmulcahy.com/bolt-action_sporting_rifles/us_ba_spr_l-m.htm

It was really slow loading for me so here is what they had to say about the 810:

Notes: Though based partially on the Model 800, the Model 810, is not, as some people think, simply a long-action version of the Model 800, as there are many differences other than the length of the action. The Model 810 has several other internal and external differences, including the bolt, which has a pair of four lugs instead of three, and the trigger unit, which has a conventional firing pin instead of being striker-fired, and also allows for adjustments for length and weight of pull. The trigger unit is also a self-contained unit instead of being just another collection of parts of the rifle. The Model 810 has a "blind box" magazine; the small magazine is fits entirely within the receiver and is concealed under a floorplate. (After 1973, versions with internal magazines were also introduced, and the popularity of the box-magazine versions markedly decreased.) The walnut half-stock is of the Monte Carlo-type, but has a low comb instead of the Model 800’s higher one. The buttplate and the cap of the pistol grip had decorative white plastic spacers. Production lasted from 1972-78.

The base version was the Model 810A, chambered for .30-06 Springfield, with a 22-inch barrel and a folding leaf rear sight. The internal magazine counterpart was the Model 810AH. The Models 810B and BH were chambered for 7mm Remington Magnum and Models 810C and CH were chambered for .270 Winchester. Models 810D and DH were chambered for .338 Winchester Magnum; though otherwise the same as the other versions except for the chambering, these two models used a 24-inch barrel and had smaller magazine capacities. The internal magazine-fed versions have slight weight differences, but shoot identically to the box magazine-fed versions for game purposes.

Fellas.... just so everyone knows...  I had found the site listed up a few posts previously while doing some research.  Upon comparing the items in the "NOTES" sections I found that someone had spent alot of time doing their homework and getting the information as accurate as possible.  HOWEVER.....and this is my bad so my apologies for not pointing this out earlier...   The charts on the page are virtually useless because they are for a game called "Twilight 2000."  So damage amounts, abbreviations, prices, etc are based upon the game.  Also they don't show all available calibers on the charts...if it's not in the game it's not on the chart... example being they don't show a Mossberg 800 in .308 on the chart -- I know it exists becasue thats what my 800A is chambered in ;)

---Just shows some folks spend way too much time researching information to build a game.

Once I had compared the notes sections with some things I knew and had researched I didn't even think twice about the silliness of the charts...  Sorry bout the confusion...  Guess I should have noted that earlier, but as I said the notes seem to be very accurate especially with the items that I've looked into.

As with anything you never know where you can find some good info...  somethings you may need to ignore though.

Sorry for any confusion.
