New Turkey Gun For My Stable.
December 03, 2011, 05:31:48 PM
I was able to come across a Mossberg 500A 12ga. in Woodland camo, 23in barrel with a Factory Mossberg XXFull .670 choke. It seems to be a solid, clean, fairly unused gun. I just shot it with a 3" Nitro Turkey #5 shot and its a pretty decent patterning gun with a true POI/POA. Its just a mule to shoot though! Im pretty excited both of us was happy on the deal we made! Come on turkey season LOL.

I love that old school woodland camo on the older guns. Should make a fine turkey gun.

Nice looking old-school Turkey slayer! Ditch that .670" X-Factor tube... you'll find that Mossberg's, especially shorter barreled Mossy's like tighter chokes.

Thanks guys! I was able to get it some bench time and done patterning. It shots the Winchester High Velosity #6 in a 3.5" like dream. Great dence pattern at 40yrds. I never really count the number of shot in the target, I just look at amount of holes.
Yeah, Ricky! It's gonna get a recoil pad LOL!

Had an old 500 that has been literally beat to **** and back more than once. Still kills piegons and blackbirds out of the barns. goes bang every time you pull the trigger. Should probably do you well.

I had a 500 in Woodland camo with a 26" barrel in '99 that I bought from Wal Mart. Loved that gun. Wish I had kept it.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.
