Anybody have or know anybody that has one of the new Mossberg O/U shotguns? I am looking at getting a new gun for next season and thought they might be worth a look. I am having trouble getting the Boss to OK $1000+ for a new gun and would like to try an O/U? Any input is appreciated.

The only experience I have with them is looking at them at a DU banquets. Please take my view with a grain of salt as I have never shot one. (I have had good luck with the Mossberg semiauto I won at a DU banquet)

Mossberg seems to want to have the features and look of the mainstream OU manufacturers.They have the inlays and engraved scenes etc. However the engraving, scenes, wood and checkering didn't seem up to the class of a Browning or Beretta. I cannot comment on the shootability or reliabilty. Now granted the Mossberg OU does not cost what a Browning or Beretta costs but I am not sure they are a great value for the cost based on my initial look at them.

Strictly IMHO.

I agree with last post - my only addition is - with anything worth having you basically get what you pay for. Not to say you have to spend a fortune to get a good gun, there are times I would rather use my 1950's era Rem 870 vs my Beretta's, etc.

If you are a serious shooter save up for a name you know you can count on. However I think the most important thing is to make sure the gun fits YOU - try em all and go with the one you can pull up every time, don't get hung up on the looks or engraving if you really want to shoot well.

My 2 cents - good luck & support the shooting sports!

Take a look at the KHAN brand, they make the O/U for Mossberg.They just don't have the nicer ingraving that Mossberg adds at it's shop.

But function wise they are a good bet, I shot one last year and was impressed with the feel for a $400 gun.

I bought a Traditions brand from a forum member last year, it shoots great and feels wonderful to shoulder.

But I have a hard time hitting any thing with it,I shot a best 18 birds with it.

My average last year with my old Winchester SX-1 was 24.1 so I know I can shoot if the gun fits me.

Reminton has a brand called Spartin that is made by Bikali out of Russia.They are not to bad either for the cheap ones.

KHAN is made in Turkey shotgun by the way.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
