I have a Mossberg 500a Pump shot gun. Bought it this year for $175 For turkey season. Shot it a few times and it shoots great. Especially with the 3 inch TUrkey 6 shot mags.

Guess what this was my FIRST Post

that is what i have....she's my baby i shoot #5, 3 in....for turkey....the only advice i can give you about your gun is...when you shoot, don't forget it's a pump if you need to take another shot, it helps, lol.....my mistake a couple of times, lol.... i shot , went to shoot again and nothing happened, lol....but i love my gun..it's been a good gun and believe me when i say i have put that gun through alot.....

Mossberg® makes a great gun at a reasonable price. They are very inexpensive; they ARE NOT Cheap.

Had mine for 3 or 4 years now. Love it! Would never give it up. Too versatile to get rid of. Rabbits, grouse, quail, dove, turkey! I get a lot of use out of mine. I'll assume its a pump. I was worried about that when I bought mine, but now it's second nature. Got mine while in college. Can't say enough about it.
