mossberg 500

[Lost Cause]

I'm lookin at buying one sometime in the near future for kind of an all purpose gun. wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the gun. My brothers got one that I've used a few times and it's always worked fine but he doesn't use it more than once a year at best so he couldn't really give me any insight on it.

I am a mossberg fan.

I have always loved their shotguns and have always used them over Remington any chance I can get.

Its sort of a FORD vs CHEVY type of deal.

Just get one that fits you and that you like.

I am particularly a very large fan of the the thumb safety offered by mossberg. I dont like index safety guns. Playing around with my trigger finger is just not for me. But that is only my .. and it may not be worth that much

Mossberg 500 is a good choice for an all around shotgun. I am sure you wont be disappointed.

Those are the same reasons I love my 500. I also like the double bead sights. I have shot a lot of rounds through mine and only had one problem, but that was caused by a bad shell. I have shot deer, geese, ducks, pheasants, doves, clays, and gophers with it. Before I bought the 12 gauge version I had the 20 gauge and loved that one too. Very reliable and accurate gun for the price.

I have a 835 Mossberg Ulit-mag love it never had a faiure in anyform hundreds of shell's through it, keeps asking for more! The 500 is a great platform you can deffinatly pay more but IMO why when you have a good solid shot gun for a fraction of the price.
