The Mossberg shotguns are some of the toughest, most reliable, and affordable
shotguns on the market. The Mossberg shotgun has been around for almost a
century; it is a shotgun that simply works, no matter what conditions it is put
through. Mossberg shotguns are accredited with being the only shotgun to pass
the military’s three-thousand slug test, which had proven devastating to all
competitors’ submissions. The Mossberg quickly gained credit among the troops in
Iraq, proving to be effective with all types of ammunitions, including less than
lethal rounds.
The Mossberg firearms have come a long way since 1919, when Mossberg Arms
first began shotgun production. Now Mossberg shotguns are best known as the
world’s largest pump-action shotgun producers. Despite the changing times,
Mossberg guns have a time tested design, which is simple, sleek, and functional.
Some of the more popular shotguns are the Mossberg 500 and Mossberg 590, which
have both been out for some time, with no sign of their age showing, despite the
wide range of competitors, none of which have been able to match the innovation
of Mossberg.
The major differences between the Mossberg 500 and Mossberg 590 are the
magazine tube design (which is longer, adding more capacity), heat shield, and
bayonet lug. Despite the obvious military advantages of the Mossberg 590, there
are great deals of competition shooters turning to the 590 shotgun because of
the easy feed of any type of ammunition.
Currently Mossberg Arms produces a wide range of rifles, which vary from .22
long rifle to .308, which takes the same reliability of the Mossberg shotguns,
and delivers it to the remarkable Mossberg rifles. The Mossberg rifles have
always held true to Mossberg’s mission statement: “We are a team dedicated to
safety, quality, value and continuous improvement through partnerships of
employees, customers and our suppliers. Uncompromised customer satisfaction is
our priority.”
Making high quality firearms for the average man without breaking the bank
has Mossberg Arms maintaining their legacy and reputation, and constantly
getting more credit, where it has been far past due. Many shooters have the
stigma that affordable shotguns are not as effective as a shotgun four times the
price, which Mossberg has proven wrong time and time again. The reason Mossberg
shotguns are so affordable is because Mossberg has long been established as the
average man’s shotgun and is now becoming the world’s most recognizable
pump-action shotgun.
I have experience with just about every type of shotgun on the market, from
Beretta to the Baikal shotguns. When it came time for me to invest in a shotgun,
it was a no-brainier. I chose the Mossberg 500; it has never given me a problem
and it outshoots many competitors’ shotguns, which I know cost almost ten times
the fee of my old faithful 500. During my experience selling firearms for a
large FFL dealer, I have nothing but praise for the Mossberg product lines, and
would recommend all trap shooters, skeet shooters, and hunters put their
favorite shotgun against the Mossberg challenge.
