The Mosberg 500 is cheap, cheap, cheap and as with most hunting accessories..... you get what you pay for. IF you're going to be hunting with a firearm, hunt with a quality model. My best suggestion would be to make the investment of a T/C Encore! Shoot the best you can afford and surely you can afford more thana couple hundred dollars for a quality deer slayer that will last you a lifetime. Good luck and good huntin'
