Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Any Mossberg owners on the 🔥?

Those Chuckster's are shooters! I had one years ago and sold it. I looked for a long time for another one and finally settled on a Marlin 25MN instead.

Won a 500 12 gauge at one of the local bar raffles many years ago . A good gun and it is loaded!

I bought a Mossberg Patriot .350 Legend with a beautiful walnut stock last year. Works and shoots good.

True story.

The 88's are really versatile hey mjbgalt?

I have a Mossberg 590 A1

Never owned a Mossberg, but when I was about 12 I wanted one, a single-shot bolt action .410, in the worst way. Dad said no. My son used them in the Navy some, 500's, and said they always worked well. When I was a kid a friend had a Mossberg .22 auto with the drop-down end on the forearm that I always thought was cool. Back in the '70's another friend had a Mossberg "Chuckster" .22 Mag that was the only other .22 Mag I ever saw that would shoot as well as my Anschutz.

I've noticed Model 500 wood forends do tend to crack right down the center of the the top groove. Mostly the full length. My New Haven 600 did that, and I've noticed it on others, including a new Retro model that wasn't even sold yet. It doesn't seem to hurt anything. Mossberg may do well to not make their forearm a wodden tube. Instead, cut a channel in the top grove to relieve the stress.

I like this YouTube channel. He's got good things to say about the lowly 500.

500 version of 20 gauge youth stock, still carry great for grouse and woodcock, 835 I used to goose hunt with, 3-1/2” never bothered me, now after shoulder replaced, 2-3/4 the limit. Lots of flying birds killed with both.

My model 800 about 55 yrs ago. 308 caliber, crappy trigger but worked.

I've had a Mossberg 500 12 gauge for years. Great rugged shotgun. Also had a 100 ATR rifle in .30-06. Worst gun I've ever had, hands down. Broke 3 extractors in it. Probably only fired it about 40 times.

First gun I ever bought on my own was a Mossberg 500 12 gauge. That was in the early 80's. It served me well for many years and I still have it. I also have a 500 12 gauge combo with a slug barrel, a 500 12 gauge with a short barrel and an 835 3 1/2" for turkeys etc.... Not the prettiest or smoothest but reliable guns in my opinion.

340BA here, first rifle I bought on my own as a kid. Those 340’s and mossberg 22’s from that era are super accurate and under appreciated. Owned a 500 for a period of time also, don’t miss that one.

Yup
