Hey yall. I originally got this shotgun about 3 years ago, and have loved it ever since. I'd grown up shooting an 870, and loved it. But once I got my hands on a Mossberg, the 870 just never felt as good again. The first time I can remember wanting a Mossberg 590 Mariner over the 870 Marine Magnum was when I watched the movie, Hard Target. Jean Claude Van Damme uses a 590 Mariner to great effect in that film, still one of my all time favorite action movies! The bag guy in the movie also uses a 590, but the blued model. Here's some pics of mine and in the movie!
