Looking beyond deer season at turkeys

Oxford · 11-04-2009, 10:46 PM

Won't be long till turkey season will be here. Spring hunting season is only a few months away. So...I recently bought this Mossberg 500 A 12 Ga for $200 to use during my next opportunity to hunt turkeys.

I'm looking forward to trying out this slightly used gun which is about five years old. It holds both 2 3/4" & 3" shells.

Features include (used gun):

ventilated rib
gold plated trigger
wood stock
holds both 2 3/4" & 3" shells
easier sighting front and mid barrel beads
no blemishes that I could detect
accu-choke (currently has a modified choke installed)
28" barrel length
recoil pad on butt stock

Nice 500A ox.That should do the trick on the turkey birds. I would use the 3" shells,
Rem.Nitros seems to be the best in mine with a tightest choke you have. That sure is a good deal for 200 bucks,it looks brand new....Thanks for posting the pictures...

I'm happy for you because you've wanted one for a while. This goes to show if you set your mind to have something, it will come.

You got just what you were looking for. I saw the other day you mentioned you had a Mossy and I started to ask about it.
