Has anybody bought one from there. I was looking at the 500 12 ga. with the 24 in. barrel and woodlands camo. Any info on them would be great.

I' ve got one. It' s not the camo model though. It functions fine. Never had a problem with it.

My nephew bought a mossburg in the woodland and the camo came off very easy. My other buddy bought a mossburg from wal-mart in the realtree hardwoods and the camo is also coming off it but not as bad as the woodland camo.

several years back our wally world had them on sale for$100, 20 r 12 with plain stock. i bought a 20 for future grandkids. i like it so much that im not sure my grand kids will get it to much later on(i hope). i just wish i had bought 3 r 4 for that price.

i have one but i have the regular wood stock. the only thing that i don' t like about it is the 3inch shells are sometimes hard to get to eject if you are in a hurry. i have to make a special effort to pump it hard. but that may just be a problem that i have--- other than that i love it!

look to the skies for He is coming soon!!

I have the very gun your talking abou. Ive killed a turkey with it and got a slug barrel and killed deer with it. Its nothing fancy but is a workhorse. I use it twice a year and dont see the need to get a new one.

I have a friend that just bought one and its not a bad gun for the $149.00 that he paid for it . We shot trap with it and he broke 23 birds in the first round .

I bought one three years ago and its worked fine. It patterns 3" number 4' s (federal) the best. average 7 pellets in the head and neck at 40 yards.
Camo finish is holding up pretty good. Im happy with it.

That' s the gun I use. No problems with the camo. I put a little bit of RemOil on mine then wipe it with a dry rag. Mine prefers the Federal Premium 3" #5' s with a Star Dot in .667. Only problem I have had so far..... When it gets dirty it will not feed high brass shells in 2 3/4" or 3" . I don' t mean super dirty, just a couple of rounds and I have a single shot. Guess I need to send it back to Mossberg. I just gun scrub the crap out of it after shooting and it works.... [:@]

So what if the camo chips a little. It' s a gun to hunt with.
