Goose Caller,

You posted earlier regarding elk hunting cartridges and IMO you look to be on the right track there however regarding this NEW Mossberg thing I fear you are heading for the bar pit.

The Mossberg I talked to you about is 30+ years old and IS NOT the 100 ATR. I don't have an ATR as one can't own EVERYTHING,but I 'd really recommend you pay attention to what folks are trying to tell you, they have nothing to win or lose by your choice, they just want to see a happy new hunter. If you can't find one of the old good ones I wouldn't recommend pursuing one of the new not-so-good ones.
