Mossberg has yet to put out an O/U that could be called "poor" on its better days. An O/U offered by Mossberg for a mere $402 is unlikely to live up to being thought of as "crude". Then again, a $402 O/U is cheap enough to be considered disposable so go for it and report back. Who knows, maybe it is a Perazzi equivalent trying to gain market share and name recognition.
