This is one of the coolest shotguns that Mossberg makes. It's a Thunder Ranch special edition. This thing rocks. The breacher barrel is sweet. It looks mean. The picatinny rail on the pump arm is useful for mounting a light. The short stock is very useful for using inside the home for bump in the night home defense situations. I love this shotgun. Thanks, BudsGunShop.

I have been looking for this shotgun for awhile. Availability was the problem, but BudsGunShop had it and I bought it. They sent it to my local FFL and off we went. Took me exactly two hours before it was loaded and three cartons of shells in the past. It handles well, light, responsive and the easy to manage safety is just plain simple. With light target loads, it shoots tight, even and had less recoil than I anticipated. My only complaint with this model is that the forend can be a little rough on the hands if you are a pretty rapid fire guy. All in all, it is a great value and works like intended: hard, reliable and fun to shoot. I bought it for home defense and have every expectation that it will do the job should I need it.

This comes from the factory with pretty much the modifications you'd end up wanting to do a year later with a standard 500. The shorter LOP is just right, the front sight is all you need (and the visibility even in low light is great), and to be honest- the sling is actually pretty good with the good screw-on type ends. If you find the 590 too long or front-heavy, but want a factory-customized 12g, definitely try this out. Great overall balance of features and size. Bud's got this shipped with consistent timing based on my other purchases. Placed on a Monday, arrived on the following Friday.

Great shotgun for home defense and a great deal with all the standard "extras". The first one that was sent had several scratches on it, but Buds took care of it without any hassle and replaced it in a reasonable timeframe. Great service and a great weapon.

Great feeling 12ga. Fit is very good, handles everything from low recoil loads to heavy slugs just fine. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars was there were a few dings on the finish here and there, and the sling is pretty much decoration. At it's longest setting, I could barely fit it over my shoulder.

Perfect size for a home defense weapon. Fit and finish very nice.

Really happy with this purchase. Most Mossy pump action shotguns that I have handled have had that signature hitch near the bottom of the pump stroke. This one does not. It is super smooth and is a pleasure to shoot. The recoil is fairly light for this size shotgun and very stable. The tri-rail setup on the fore end make placing a light a non-issue. The 38 inch overall length make this a fantastic home defense shotgun. The one issue that I noticed is that the trigger group pin tended to walk out. I fixed this with a small amount of blue loc-tite.

Good shotgun for the money with all the upgrades you receive. LOP is a good fit, the front sight is better than the standard bead. Mine did not come with a sling, called mossberg and they are sending one out. Good overall value on the proven 500 action.

Great Mossberg home defense shotgun and the price was right ($344). Short length of pull (12.75 inches) makes for easy maneuvering in tight spaces. A keeper.

Got the weapon yesterday. When I got home I noticed that the front sight was loose. Then it came off in my hand, broke off. The sling was also missing. I call Mossberg and they are going to make it right though.
