They make a good serviceable shotgun
despite all the naysayers.
Every shotgun I ever had needed to be
patterned to find the optimum load and
choke and a good bit of ammo burned up.
Even the brownings and the benelli I have.

When we didn’t have much choice for deer I’d use my mossberg 500 with 3” slugs and dreaded shooting it off the bench every year prior to deer season.

There's not much that won't fall to a 12 gauge.

My very first shotgun was a Mossberg 20 gauge bolt action with changeable choke tubes.
I killed many geese, ducks,quail, pheasants and rabbits with that thing.
