i was out at the range over the weekend and it was shotgun day for the family. I took a benelli nova, Remington 1100, and a Mossberg 500. ended up only shooting the Mossberg 500. I own several 500 and 590 model shotguns and I have been counting the rounds I have put through this particular mossy 500, and it is up to 10,025. I have shot 500 slugs, 300 0-0 buck, 1000 #6 high brass, 200 #4 buck, and 8,025 bird and dove and skeet loads. the shotgun has never failed in the 5 years that I have owned it ( besides maybe a short stroke or two while shooting skeet). the only thing I can tell is it has gotten incredibly smooth. it is an amazing gun for the price and I just wanted to brag on Mossberg.
I did drop it turkey hunting last year and broke the wood grips on the pump. Mossberg just sent me a whole new pump for free.
I forgot to mention, it is the Mossberg 500 field I picked up at the local Wal-Mart for 300 bucks.
