Mossberg makes some of the finest "heavy duty" canoe paddles in the world,some of them will even shoot occasionally.
I don't know about thier rifles, but if I had to choose between a Mossberg shot gun and a sharpened stick for hunting,based on my experiance with Mossberg shotguns I would get my pocket knife and an oak branch.
thats just my .02 and thats exactly what it's worth
