With all due respect G-Meister, you are wrong.
I've shot Winchester Super-X (Foster-type) slugs from my Moss'y 500 with the 28" front-bead field barrel in Modified choke. Rather accurate at 100 yds and consistently so. However the open (rifle) sights on the shorter slug barrel make sight picture and target acquistion much easier. Especially as regards the former.
In fact, the American Rifleman (NRA) magazine featured an article some years ago wherein it stated that some choke (up to modified?) was actually <i>beneficial</i> to Foster-type slug performance, if I remember correctly. And I assume I, too, will be corrected if <b>I</b> am wrong!
Alleydude,
Welcome to G&G!
I have 2 Moss'y 500 field/deer combos in 12 gauge (I inherited one from a brother when he married...
), and bought my son a 20 ga. combo last year when he turned 12. You got a good gun for the money, with lots of aftermarket accessories for your toy chest, if you so care.
With a modicum of care, it will serve you well for many years. Welcome to the forum.
