Re: mossberg 500..!!!!!!

I once owned a Mossberg 500 in .410 gauge and it was a good servicable shotgun, no complaints here. I since gave it to my Nephew "Zach" to hunt with. I shot really well with #5 or #7.5 size shot in 3" shells. I am sure for $75 you are receiving a good deal, but remember there are better pump shotguns out there that are just a little better quality.

Great meat and taters gun...nothing fancy about the gun.....I own a camo one, and I shoot a comp and choke xxxfull choke tube, and at 35-40 yards I put 86 pellets in the head and neck of a bird every time....I love my gun, just keep it clean, and get used to its girth, there are lighter, faster aiming guns out there, but for a great gun you can beat to heck, and shoot all day long, well buy the gun......just check if for cleanliness, and if it has been regularly used or oiled.................al

Ask for a spent shell casing, load it in and push the button behind the trigger guard, and eject the shell!!! It should fly out really good, if not you might need to replace the ejector inside the gun! I had to replace the ejector in my 500 three times in the time I owned that gun!

I own 4 of them ,along with a couple brownings and a Franchi, and If you ever see me in the woods it is with the Mossberg. I have taken over 40 deer with one and around 20 turkey with another.

The gun works and works well.

There are other guns that are fancier, have big names and all, and some that will shoot better. But with practice this gun can shoot with the best of them.
