I have a mossber youth pump and it works really well. The only thing about them which really is not that big of a deal is that the forearm stock rattles on every single pump mossberg i have heard about or touched. This really doesn' t matter because i use it for birds, bunnies, squirrels and thats it. If you were going to go hunt something that spooks easily from noises than i would pick a different gun. But if i were going to get a pump gun for birds and stuff i thinkg mossbergs are really good guns for the money.
