Title: New Turkey Gun For My Stable.
Post by: Crappiepro on December 03, 2011, 05:31:48 PM
I was able to come across a Mossberg 500A 12ga. in Woodland camo, 23in barrel with a Factory Mossberg XXFull .670 choke. It seems to be a solid, clean, fairly unused gun. I just shot it with a 3" Nitro Turkey #5 shot and its a pretty decent patterning gun with a true POI/POA. Its just a mule to shoot though! Im pretty excited both of us was happy on the deal we made! Come on turkey season LOL.

I love that old school woodland camo on the older guns. Should make a fine turkey gun.

Nice looking old-school Turkey slayer!    Ditch that .670" X-Factor tube... you'll find that Mossberg's, especially shorter barreled Mossy's like tighter chokes.

Thanks guys! I was able to get it some bench time and done patterning. It shots the Winchester High Velosity #6 in a 3.5" like dream. Great dence pattern at 40yrds. I never really count the number of shot in the target, I just look at amount of holes.
Yeah, Ricky! It's gonna get a recoil pad LOL!

Had an old 500 that has been literally beat to **** and back more than once.  Still kills piegons and blackbirds out of the barns.  goes bang every time you pull the trigger.  Should probably do you well.

I had a 500 in Woodland camo with a 26" barrel in '99 that I bought from Wal Mart.  Loved that gun.  Wish I had kept it.

I had that same gun in the early 90's, in fact I sold it to mfd1027, and he gave it to his kid for his first turkey gun.
