HAVE OWNED A MOSSBERG 500 SINCE CHRISTMAS 1987. VERY GOOD GUN. HAVE SHOT THOUSANDS OF ROUNDS AT THE TRAP RANGE. ALSO HAVE TAKEN LOTS OF GAME WITH MY 500 FROM DOVE TO DEER. THE LAST DEER TAKEN WAS AT 102YDS WITH 24" RIFLED/PORTED RIFLE SIGHT BARREL. ONLY HAD ONE PROBLEM EVER WITH THE GUN AFTER ABOUT THREE YEARS AND 500 TO 1000 ROUNDS THE VENT RIB CAME OFF, CALLED MOSSBERG & THEY SENT ME A NEW BARREL NO CHARGE WITHIN A WEEK AFTER SENDING MINE TO THEM. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR ANOTHER SHOTGUN IN AN OVER UNDER MODEL AND I AM LOOKING VERY HARD AT THE MOSSBERG SILVER RESERVE. I WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND MOSSBERG ANY DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
