Shotgun help

Post by whodeyAtown21 »

So I love guns...this first I want to buy is a Mossberg 500

I was thinking about a 500 cruiser (pistol grip, 28" length, 5 1/2 pounds).
Should I go with 12, 20 or .410?

What would be your suggestions with Mossberg?

Yes, my first shotgun.

I want it to look military-like. I'd like to hunt rabbit or squirrel.
I just don't usually hunt...and I'd like to start.

I don't know yet. I was doing some research online. I think I'm set on Mossberg, though.

I like the pistol grip, but I wouldn't be opposed to not having it, maybe ghost rings, I don't know.

$385 isn't too bad, either.

Forget the 16, 20 and 4,10"s. Go with the 12 gage.

Sounds great to me.

You need a 30" full choke for squirrels and a probably a 28" modified for rabbits. You may want to consider a barrel with different chokes or maybe an extra barrel if you are going to get serious.

I'm definitely going to have to take you up on that. It'll probably be around two weeks, but I'll also have to find that place. I've never heard of it.

Wow, the time on here is obviously a little messed up? :lol:

I just love how the pistol grips look.

Btw, The Enforcer, are there any 590s?
