Opinions on Mossberg Slugsters
Taking the advice from the forum and forgoing slug barrell for my Benelli. However, the used slug guns I have found are way out of my price range. I can get one of the new Mossberg 535 ATS slugsters at Wal-mart for $280. What is the consensus of quality on the Mossberg slug guns?

RE: Opinions on Mossberg Slugsters
I purchased a 500 about 10 years ago, and also got a rifled barrel 3 years ago.
Accurate to 100 yards - nearly as good as my 30-30.
My only suggestion is to recommend the 20 guage. A 12 guage slug that goes astray can do a lot of meat damage.

I own 2 which are about 15 & 25 yrs old. The ONLY problem I ever had was the safety on the older gun. That was big problem with older models. They are Ugly,noisy slide,and heavy. Consider the 12g rifled slugster or at least put a rifled barrel on the basic 500 model. I bought an 870 Special Purpose last year. Much nicer gun to handle in field,but the 500 IMO is better built.
