I puchased a Mossberg 500 in my poor college student days (I went to Chiropractic school with 5 kids). 3" chambers, not 3.5, the pellets might bounce off since we developed the 3.5. Everything I have pointed it at CORRECTLY went into the freezer. A bith cheaper than the Rem express. A pump shotgun is tough to beat for versitility. Turkey chokes, slug barrel and a .50 muzzle loading barrel, it's tough to beat.
