RedRocket1647545505 Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yea, I bought another. My dad was wanting me to go hunting with him this year, so it gave me an excuse to get another. Mossberg 500 Slugster 12ga. Mossy oak camo (it should be said that I'm not really a fan of camo guns, but figured this one would be dedicated to the woods, so I went with it.) Onto the pics: http://i17.tinypic.com/72jqbtd.jpg The matte black rings are temporary. I didn't think the set I ordered would be here in time for season opening. http://i15.tinypic.com/820py4j.jpg Rings I ordered http://i13.ebayimg.com/04/i/08/19/12/5c_1.JPG Rounds I'll be shooting: http://i3.tinypic.com/8b4o9w1.jpg http://i13.tinypic.com/6yfguac.jpg Red tipped = Hornady 300gr. SST $11/box of 5 Gold tipped = Winchester 385gr. Partition Gold $19/box of 5 ...I'll be sticking with the Hornadys. They look cooler anyways.

copperhead Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 How is the trigger on it? My 500 has an 11ty pound trigger on it, can't hit shit because it always pulls up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 How is the trigger on it? My 500 has an 11ty pound trigger on it, can't hit shit because it always pulls up. Haven't tried it yet. Going to site it in tomorrow. According to an online ballistics calculator I found, this is the best zero I could come up with: 50yd = +1.00" 100yd = +1.00" 125yd = 0.00" 150yd = -2.00" Should nail anything in that range fairly easily, I hope. 150yd effective range ain't too bad for a shotty, eh? Will report back tomorrow evening with details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Decided to sight it in at 100yd. It's dead on at that distance. And you're right about the trigger. It's rough. You've really gotta sqeeeeeeeaze (hard) it to get a decent shot. As long as you do that though, it's perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99crb600 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 thats a nice gun austin you should try the remington copper solids...iv always had good luck with them in my mossberg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew2o2 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hey copperhead if you want to lighten your 500's pull change the trigger return spring. Its a little difficult to pull apart the first time but its worth it. I have a pen spring in mine and i love the pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 don't drop it in the woods you'll never find it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBussman1647545507 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Nice gun, I want to get a cantilever rifled barrel like that for my 20ga Remington 1100, but the only one I could find was $375! I'll have to use rifled slugs for yet another season I guess...... I'm sticking to 50Yards as my longest shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
