I have one . It shoots the lightfield exp sabots the best. I've killed 2 deer with mine.It's a great slug gun for the money. I done think the recail is that harsh.

My friend and I both have one. It is a great slug gun for the money but it is not in production anymore. You could probably pick up a used one cheap. I think it kicks you pretty good with the higher velocity loads also. Stick with copper solids and it will be fine. I've dropped 4 deer with mine. The bolt is a little hard to cycle on the second shot. Maybe that is just mine but when the adrenaline is pumping, I don't notice it. I would definately suggest a trigger job. Mine was between 9-10 pounds and very rough. I had a gunsmith work on it and it is now a smooth 4-1/2 pounds. The accuracy improved greatly.

I have one, and it is a good gun. Kicks like a mule though. And I could do without the porting. It makes it much louder. Yes Mossberg discontinued it. But shops are still carrying new ones. I just saw one at Gander Mountain last weekend. They had it priced at $219, which is what I paid last year for mine. It does shoot good. But the trigger definitely needs worked over by a smith.
