AJ Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Re: what do you think Decent gun. I would have to see it shoot to give it a true rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slughunter Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Re: what do you think trigger pulls hard and the scope is only 2.5 x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Re: what do you think The scope is no reason to hate the gun, easy enough to change a scope. As for the trigger, I'm not sure what can be done with shotgun triggers. both my 870 slug guns have decent triggers though, so I never really thought about it.

AJ Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Re: what do you think You can have your gunsmith lower the trigger pull weight. This will run you about $50. The Mossberg 500 is a functional gun. Mechanically it is a solid gun and would rate 8.0 or better. Astetically on the other hand, it rates about a 3.0. Some have the feeling that life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun, while others realize that aqn ugly gun kills game as dead as a pretty gun does. Plus if it gets scratched, its not that big of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNY_Whitetailer Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Re: what do you think In my opinion a 2.5x fixed power scope is perfect for slug gun usage. How far are you planning to shoot anyway? With a fixed scope there is no chance that you leave the thing cranked up to 9x when a deer walks by at close range making it difficuly if not impossible to "find" it in the scope. Keep it simple...Don't believe the hype and advertising pushing all those high power variable scopes on you...They aren't necessary. I'd stick with the gun you have...It's a workhorse and will last a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addct2hntng Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Re: what do you think with a slug gun I usaully wont take a shot over 100 yds ... I love my mossberg you have a nice gun dont let it bum you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Re: what do you think 170 yards with a slug gun, thats a little far don't ya think??Sure it will kill a deer there, but thats rifle range, not shotgun. How often do you shoot at 170 yards with that gun(at the range), and how good are your average groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slughunter Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Re: what do you think well lil hunter, i shot 3 deer and a coyote with that this year. all were over 150 yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY_Whitetailer Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Re: what do you think Yup...170 sure is a poke, How do you aim? Do you hold about 12 inches over the shoulder? I am curious seeing as I have never shot that far with a slug gun and I don't see a reason that I will ever have to shoot that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
