I have the Mossberg 500 pump and love it. I will be hunting with it this year for the first time.

If considering a Mossy, I'd go with the 510 at 5 lbs., and 18.5" barrel.  More than a pound lighter and much shorter.  To increase LOP, I'd add slip on pad after extending it to full length with its stock spacers.  Here's what I did to a Super Bantam 20 that started out at 5.25.  The weight jumped by more than a pound after tricking it out.

If you haven't seen recent patterns with my Yildiz, they're on the 20 ga. forum under my 20 gauge single-shot project gun thread, last page or so.  159 in the 10 at 40.

Ended up getting the Mossberg.  Just couldn't stand the thought of having only one shot.  Now it's time to wait on the loading supplies.
