I found this Mossberg 500 while I was looking for a rifled slug barrel for my 930. The only 930 slug barrels I could find in stock were new and going for $200+. While browsing GunBroker I came across this Mossberg 500, and to my surprise my bid ended up winning. Mossberg 500 with cantilevered slug barrel plus scope for just a bit over $200, including shipping and transfer. There are a few cosmetic blemishes on the receiver and stock (which were well described by the seller), but on the inside the gun looks almost new. I'm guessing the previous owner carried this hunting a fair amount but shot it very little.
It came with a Simmons 3-9X40 scope and rings, which I need to mount. Definitely budget optics, but hoping this will get me through a season of hunting. I also grabbed one box of each type of 12g sabot slug at the LGS. I'm planning to try these out as soon as I can get to the range to see what groups well.
This is my first pump shotgun and my first slug gun. Any advice from experienced slug hunters?
