I would definatley go with at least the Xfull. I just bought the mossberg Xfactor XXfull (off their website) and it shoots a great pattern out to 40 yards + . I currently shoot federal #5
flite control shells. The mossberg full choke got very ifffy beyond 30 yards.

My girl shoots a mossberg 835 and it is awesome. You should have good luck with the 500. It's a pretty good gun. The biggest difference with the two is that I believe the 500 is just a 3" gun. Good luck!!

RE: mossberg 500 full choke
I've got an old 500, with a fix full choke barrel, that I've been shooting for years. Found that any 3" shell with 2 oz. #5 shot works well in it. Currently using Kent Diamond shot 3" 2 oz. #5.
