which model of the Mossberg 500 12 gauge shotgun should i get???? i am going to be using it for home defense and hunting(squirrel, coyotes, deer, birds, etc, probably nothing bigger than a deer). also i would like a nice flashlight and/or scope, but idk which model to buy, i was thinking about the tactical, or persuader/cruiser. I don’t want a wood stock or anything, all synthetic.
if you think i should get the wood, why? and if i do could i put accessories on it?
which MODEL should i get???????
could i add a pistol grip to the model A?
does the model a have any other names?

I just bought this shotgun. Its a Mossberg Maverick 12 Gauge. Anyone know if its a decent gun? Im not hunting or anything.This is just for protection. It was cheap and hell, a shotgun is a shotgun. Im not going to pay 600 for a gun.

OK. i recently asked about hunting black bear, and earlier tonight i bought a mossberg 500 12 gauge pump action shotgun to get my shot better. If i dont get a better shotgun, using the mossberg I now have with a 3" slug shell, would you say i have a decent chance at actually taking down a bear? Please do not answer this unless you have experience hunting bear.

I’ve always asked myself should I buy a shotgun for hunting and skeet shooting? One problem is my family can be short tempered. I’m never short tempered except my my 2 older sisters and my parents. I live in Illinois. Also if I have a gun in my house and if anybody tries to steal my gun for a stupid reason, what should I do?

does anyone know which gun is better or which one is better for clays AND hunting? i am looking at both and i was wondering if anyone has any experience with either or if they know which is better from personal experience

My question is: I’m gonig to get a shotgun for sporting clays, and also for hunting. Would a black synthetic be ok to use for hunting also? I don’t want a camo becasue I will be shooting clays 85% of the time, but I don’t want to guns. One top line gun, and i’m done. Once again will I be ok with black syn. Thanks

I want to get a shotgun…i plan on hunting turkey and deer at least so i want a shotgun that is good at hunting those two animals…i have a budget of around 5 to 600 bucks. i heard good and bad things about the mossberg 500 and same with the remington express what is yall’s opinion…and if yall have something that is a little more expensive but would be better for me. just let me know. THANKS!

I was looking into buying a shotgun for duck and quail hunting this season. I am a left handed shooter but have been shooting a right handed gun. The ejection does not bother me but the safety has been an issue so I would like to find something with a thumb safety. I am looking to spend around 0.
Yeah. I guess I forgot to add that I want a semi-auto. I was thinking a Mossberg 930. I heard the 935 has some ejection issues with lighter shells. Not that I am against a pump action, it’s just not what I am used to.

I just bought a shotgun, a Mossberg 12 gauge. All I know about guns is very basic–I’m a decent shot and just a notice user, so I know about loading/unloading, a little about cleaning (now that I own my own I need to learn more), etc. All I have shot before is my dad’s old 12 gauge, so I’ve never bought a gun new. This may be a completely stupid question, but all the same I’d appreciate some info from people who know more than I do I heard something moving back and forth when I lifted the bottom part of the gun (sorry I don’t know the technical terms, but what I mean is the big piece of the gun that’s separate from the barrel) to screw the barrel on. I held it down so the thing would slide forwards, and it’s a small wooden stick thing with two rubber circles on either end–again, it’s not in the barrel, it’s in the tube right below the barrel (magazine tube?). What is this little stick, and does it stay in the gun or not??? Again, sorry if this is a dumb, obvious question, but it’s not obvious to me so I thought I’d ask. Thank you in advance.
Thanks so much guys. I won’t be using mine for hunting either, just for fun shooting and home defense (though hopefully I never have to use it for the latter), so I’ll just take it out. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t removing some crucial piece that would cause it to fire incorrectly. Thanks again!

Im looking at getting a shotgun but i need to know if a relfex sight will work on a shotgun if i were to do clay turkeys, hunting and joy . Thanks

i was looking into buying the Remington 870 shotgun when i seen they have a new model out. the Remington 887, almost totally weather resistant. perfect for hunting. i was just wondering if some Remington 870 stock (the butt of the shotgun) accessories would fit on the 887.

seeing as how the 887 is so new there aren’t many accessories out yet. and the 870 being the most used shotgun in the world i was wondering if anyone knew if i could just buy a 870 stock and bolt it on?

If have a shotgun and go say duck hunting with it will APG or camo make a real differnce because i hate the way it looks on a gun and i would prefer black but is camo better?

I am looking to buy a shotgun to go hunting for the first time this fall/winter. I would like something that I could use for just about any of the game that is hunted here in Iowa (deer, pheasant, duck, turkey). I would also like to be able to use it to go skeet shooting. Not looking to spend too much money. I am a 25 yo male (if that makes a difference).
Not looking for a youth gun…just something good for someone new to hunting

I’m looking at the 20inch barreled 8-shot. Is is good for home defense and hunting?

I’m over 18 and I have the money. Is there anything else you need to buy a rifle for home protection and hunting in the state of Florida? If I buy a shotgun from Dick’s sporting goods can I take it home the same day. Is that the best place to purchase a firearm?

I would like to buy a shotgun for double duty. Home defense and hunting. Can I buy one 870 and just change out parts? How can I learn how to do this?

I have been trying to figure out what shotgun to get for duck/quail hunting. I was thinking about either a Rem 870 or Mossberg 500. My cousin thought I should look into the Benelli Nova. Does anyone know anything about this gun? Most the reviews say it outperforms the other two and they say it has a milder recoil and you can purchase a recoil reducer. I also read that the safety is reversible, so it seems like a good bet. I used to shoot at Benelli right handed semi auto (on long term loan) and loved it. Any thoughts.
