The variety of stock, barrel and finish options alone would assure the place of the 500 in the hearts of outdoorsmen. But, of course, its performance in the field goes a long way in cementing its reputation with millions of hunters as well. First and foremost, the 500 is built to the same uncompromising mil-specs as the renowned Mossberg 590. Then a host of features are introduced – Quiet Carry dual-action bars, 3″ chambers and an ambidextrous safety, to name a few. A simple change of barrel and/or choke tubes is all that’s required to take one shotgun from upland birds to waterfowl, to turkey, to deer.
