I know this will be like a Ford/Chevy argument but here's your chance to brag on your gun.
I want a semi auto with a removable plug, preferably camo that can do double duty as a turkey/goose/duck/dove gun. 3" or 3-1/2" 12 ga. Price is an object! I have no need to spend $1200 on this thing, and the only thing that impresses me is the pattern. I want unreasonalbly crazy tight patterns at extened ranges (for a shotgun that is)
If the big buck is 80 yards out broadside, I'd like a chance.
Scott, you cant buy a shotgun that patterns buckshot, you need to buy buckshot that patterns well in your shotgun! Your 500 has interchangeable barrels, why not just buy a differnt barrel w/ changeable chokes and try that! 80 yard shot with buckshot is a very unrealistic shot and not fair to the animal that your hunting. 40 yards and in is realistic, perhaps 50 being the outside limit. Sounds to me like you just wanna put a new gun in the house! (do we really need an excuse?!
) but if thats the case look at the Mossy 935 Magnum.
