i've heard the scope is crap...but no biggie or surprise there....and that the gun has a terrible trigger but with some tuning i've read guys are getting under 1" at 100, which for the price isn't shabby, however, i would recommend a Stevens 200 which is every bit as accurate with less tuning, keep in mind i have never handled the Mossberg, it's just from what i've googled and whatnot.
