Im looking at getting a tactical shotgun and ive been looking at two kinds, the mossberg 500 and the remington 870. I like their look and i shot the mossberg before and liked it and i like the look of them. anything else you think i should look at?

I am looking for a really good shotgun for hunting deer (shooting slugs). I know I want a brand new one and a new model as well. I will spend up to about 00 but prefer to spend about 0-800. I also want something that I can also use for turkey hunting (something that comes with different barrels or chokes). I was looking online (winchester, mossberg & Remiington) but there are so many different models on the websites I dont know which is the right one? Any help would be appreciated. Please include specific model #’s or links so I can find it.
for everyone that says mossberg 500 how about this one – do you think it is better than the 500??

Iv been wanting to get a shotgun now for a long time to go along with my s&w 9ve. people have been telling me that i should definitly get a semi auto but i have had my heart and eye on the mossberg 500 security/hunting combo. most places around me though wont have it in until closer to fall. So i ask all of you, whats your opinion? do i listen and get a semi auto or do i stick with what i have found so far and get the mossberg pump? By the way the gun would be used for defense/small game/fun shooting.
thanks in advance!

Hey I’m tryin to find a good shotgun for under 600 bucks (no super slugs) I was thinkin of a mossberg 500, any other good ideas?

Shotgun question…

What is the difference between a Mossberg 500 and a Mossberg 590? Which one is better for defense?

okay wat would be the best shotgun in that price range no mossberg 500 please and would like something a little nicer than a 870 express im thinking the benelli nova pump 12 gauge thats chamberd for 2 3/4 3” and 3 1/2 shells maybe theres a nicer remington in this prive range? give me ur opinion all answers will be apriceated except the ones of the anti gunies
wait i can go to 500$ and yes the express font have good finish and mossbergs are good guns its just that i like all steal and wood but i like the feel of the sythetic on the nova it dont feel ”cheap”

Yesterday, I asked about the best shotgun for home defense. Most people said that they used 12 gauge shotguns (even though other kinds are also sufficient). The top recommendations are the mossberg 500, remington 870, and the mossberg 590 (some other people mentioned it). Now that I’ve narrowed down my choices, which of these would you pick? I don’t want a double-barrel, only a single barrel. I would also want to get one made from the most durable material (preferably black synthetic stock). Before I go out and buy one, does anyone want to throw their 2 cents in? If you want to recommend one of those that I listed, which specific version should I get? I want one with a shorter barrel.
I know that, but I still want to pick out a specific model. I already know that 12 gauge can kick butt.
What about the 870 marine magnum?

I dont know if I have the 88 Field Model or the 88 All Purpose.
I know its a Maverick 88 by mossberg. It only holds 2(3) shells total. I know MOST things for a mossberg 500 fit the gun.
My question is do they make a magazine extention for it, 6 0r 8 round?
where can I get one?

I’m also going to sell my Lightly used Mossberg 500 5+1 to help pay for it. Or I might just keep it and have two shotguns…

I do not like the remington 870.
I don’t like the saftey and the guns balance feels funny to me.

I have already checked Ebay and several other websites for these items but have not been very successful in my search. I know these items may seem a litle strange but I’m trying to build a tactical shotgun in a 410 gauge. I’ve already built one in a 12 gauge version and would like to do the same for the 410 if I can find the parts. Thanks for any help in advance.
it is a mossberg 500 and it is a pump…an 18 inch barrel is the minimum legal limit in North Carolina.

I need only the bayonet lug. The lug also is the cap that screws on at the end of the magazine. I want to put it on my mossberg 500 because the 500’s do not come with one. Please help me find one. Thanks.

Does anyone here have any good links or suggestions on how to upgrade the stock (front bead) sight on a mossberg 500. This is a personel defense gun, but i want more than a lame bead sight.

p.s. this is my favorite gun- anyone intrested in defending their family should own at least one 12 gauge shotgun!!!!!!

I just won a Mossberg 500 12ga 20in tactical shotgun. it chambers a 2 3/4 in or 3in shell. never been shot. its full camo, pistil grip, adjustable stock. it has a shell holder on the left side that holds 5 shells. Its pump action and has a xx-full choke on it. any info on the price would be helpful.
thanks

First of all which is better for home defense, a 10 gauge or a 12 gauge? Second, what type would you recommend? Some people that I talked to recommended the mossberg 500. How about a saiga 12? Would you recommend one of those?
Ryan a handgun isn’t an option since I’m not 21 yet.

I am looking for a cheap rifle or shotgun for target shooting. What is the best rifle or shotgun I can get under 0?
I have a mossberg 500 so i really looking for a rifle.

i just bought a Mossberg 500 Field. the magazine looks as though it is long enough to hold five shells but i can only get three in. I looked at the schematics and it shows a limiting rod. i was wondering if i took the magazine off and removed this rod would i need to purchase a new spring or any other parts so i could get five shells into the tube magazine? or can i just use the parts that are in the magazine?
haha you were right on! thanks so much!

Or do I need to be law enforcement?
I live in Illinois.
Thanks Mr. Ghoodi.
I should be more specific.
