Mossberg 500

[Hedgelj]

A semi local Walmart has a .410 Mossberg 500, wood with parkerized, full choke for $254

Thinking of it for the kids and occasional squirrel use.

I do have access to an .410 o/u also.

Thoughts? I've only had 870s for pumps previously.

Buddy had one, it was finicky on shells. Liked to jam up on him. I think he polished the ramp for the feed and it got better. Other than that it shot good and he liked how it shouldered.

First 12ga. and still have it 23yrs later. Couldn't afford the $375 Rem. 870 combo at the time. They have all changed but will say if it fits the bill I wouldn't hesitate.

Pretty good price on a very practical gun. Worth it IMO.

I have a .410 o/u...great rabbit gun...fun to shoot and you don’t have to worry about it jamming. I have a 20 gauge o/u also but like the challenge of the .410. The only time I take out the 20 anymore is if I think I’ll run into pheasant or quail.

I have the O/U .410 as well. That’ll be buried with me

You could choke it and run TSS thru it for turkeys. If my kids were younger I’d do it! Plus it would add to my 870 collection! Butttttt. Remington is not the same gun today as it was 20 plus years ago!!! Just my 2 cents.

It's a mossy 500, if it was an 870 it'd be in the safe already

fixed choke, not threaded

Yup misread your post buddy, my bad!

I’ve spent $250 on much worse things.

Do you remember her name at least?

That's actually almost one of the lines I tell my wife
"I've spent more money on dumber things"
or my personal favorite
"cheaper than hookers and blow"

Just don't fidget with your wedding ring while saying it.

And you actually have it the next morning.

So go buy the thing and let us know how you like it.
