I just bought a new mossberg 500 combo and found rust on all three barrels when i got home. I would have returned it to the store but i bought it when i was up at my cottage winterizing it so the store is 4 hours away. What do you guys think? Is it bad or just me overreacting?

I can't see rust in your photos. Are you sure it's not grease or oil left from manufacturing? Try some gun cleaning solvent on it.
 
Looks like oil to me, just clean and go, no overreaction needed, its a hunting gun, even if it gets wet, a quick clean and oil solves it, ive had mine covered in dirt and down in the water, no rust on it, just plenty of oil
 
Welcome to the boards!
If the barrels are looking like that and you have not swapped them around, it might be a return, theres some scratches and stuff, but I dont see any rust from what I can tell, I would give it a really good cleaning
 
clean, oil and shoot! There's a lot of shipping grease/oil put on from factory which needs to be cleaned out anyhow. I'm sure all that stuff will clean up perfectly. No need to over react. Once its all cleaned up with a solvent, ensure you oil everything up again.
