Recommendation for Shotgun?

[NoTarget]

I ended up buying a used 500 w/28" barrel in excellent cond and great price. My LGS has a 18" barrel for sale too which i might grab asap! Pretty happy with my decision!!

Thanks for all the input guys and gals!

Mossberg 500 is an excellent choice.

If you purchase something with a shorter barrel and a longer hunting barrel, make sure it has replaceable choke option for at least the shorter one at the very least.

Best would be replaceable chokes for both tubes.

for that kind of money i'd say get yourself a rem 870 wingmaster. go used also btw the older ones are better built.

personally I love my mossy 500a, but you said you had more money to spend.

Hats an make fantastic affordably price shotguns. Cheers,

If you like to use for trap and skeet then OU is the best choice,
Personally i am not fan of pumps and semis but if you like them,then b.nova or rem 870 is good choice

If it is a pump gun you are looking for there are several under $600 on the EE right now.
I love the Wingmaster and have 5 that I loan out to newbies in various models.

I also have owned a pile of 100's but don't like them - that does not mean they're not well made however.
Excellent guns IMO and my father's doesn't ham even at the hands of inexperienced shooters who tend to ease the charging lever forward instead of letting it cycle on it's own.
i've owned a few 500's but just prefer the Wingmaster.

You already bought your gun... but I would have said get a used "fleur-de-lis" Wingmaster.

I have a Weatherby PA459 and I love it !!

very smooth pump action, light shotgun, perfect fit in hands, adjustable rear sight, ghost ring, replacable choke, price is only $450 before taxes.

I had a Remingt. Blackhawk tactical spec. ops, sold it and bought the Weatherby, no regrets at all, with the PA459 you can do tactical and still yet go for small game hunting.

In my smoothbore collection I have a reproduction blunderbuss, one BP drilling, one SKB and eight M37 Ithaca pump shotguns. I imagine you can guess what my own personal answer would be. lol
