FINAL VERDICT

For those looking for a budget bird or sporting shotgun, the Mossberg 500 should be a strong consideration. The 60+ year-old design has been proven and withstood the test of time. These guns are dead-reliable, extremely versatile, customizable, and will last for generations. A 3-inch chamber and 28-inch vent-rib barrel ensure that you will be ready to go right out of the box, just add ammo. Easy to swap barrels means you can swap your 28-inch barrel for an 18.5" security barrel in a matter of seconds. If you want one shotgun to cover all your bases, it is hard to go wrong with a Mossberg 500.
