Mossberg Combo for a song!

I've always been an Ithaca man, but when my son passed his hunter's test and wanted a shotgun we decided to start him with the Mossberg 500 pump.

RE: Im New to hunting

Go used. Save big dollars and get a good gun. 870 or Ithaca would be my suggestiongs. Solid, time-tested pumps that will do lots of stuff and not cost you an arm and a leg. Go used.
