Mossyoak77 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hello all new to this site, Im picking up in a few weeks time a mossberg 500a pump w/vented rib barrel in camo used £375 with 3 chokes is that a good buy do you think place I bought it off is having difficulty sourcing new ones from the usa only had 20g in new. Anyone round the northwest in the pump club shoot at worsley or any other clay places with their pump ? I go to worsley, star ground at lymm and one in the peak district. Had a go of my cousins mossy 500 last year in the states fired loads of different rounds through it had one he called turkeyshot? last one being the oucher slug. Did like the look of the supernova but that 500a caught me eye, the action is smooth on it white bead with a middle gold one on it. are pump's much better than o/u for birds and vermin?

Scully Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yes, XTR would be stamped on the barrel or receiver,or both ,after the words Winchester 1300.Would you mind posting some pic's anyhow,and let me have a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jweaver Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) I just discovered this thread and thought I would post pics of my pump. I initially got a Pump Action when I got my SGC.. Just because I could.. The Firearms officer who came around to look at my cabinet asked "why" when I told him, and I figured tha "because I can" was a good enough answer.. He gave me odd looks, and shrugged, but didn't have any objections. In truth, I got into shooting because I had met a guy who introduced me to shooting.. On the 2 occasions I went out with him, we ened by the river shooting ducks and I wanted something cheap and reliable to compliment my up and over incase I ever damaged it.. The pump was a Mossberg 600 Newhaven, but I never really liked it.. It was too long.. To old.. To aggriculural... And the action was really loose... So recently I decided that i wanted something new.. Tight.. Tactical and Cheap.. And since I wasn't going to use it much, decided on a Hatasn... I would have preferred a shorter barrel with a flash supressor on it, but thats not available in the UK as a Section 2.. So this is the best I can have. Here are the pics.. I am very happy with it.. But have yet to shoot it.. Can't see myself using it much but its nice to have... Edited March 12, 2013 by jweaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i really like the look of a tactical, so am going to take it shooting clays soon and gauge the reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossyoak77 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 hello willpoon, Altcar clay club might venture up that one next sunday if your going where is it? have you ever took yours to worsley, well picking the mossy up a lot sooner this week getting a few bits from midway to put on it sling and a shell holder for the buttstock, is £375 a good price for a used mossberg 500a?, just thought the lighter weight and benefit of an extra shell unless you've got a fac one would be a benefit when using it on vermin & birds.
