From EZ-Reach forends located closer to the receiver, to its innovative Super Bantam stock spacer adjustment system designed to grow with the shooter, Mossberg is one of the Industry's strongest advocates for promoting safe, enjoyable recreational shooting.
SPECIFICATIONS
Except for the length of pull, the forearm assembly, and the barrel length, this is your typical Mossberg 500. Comes with IC, Mod, and Full choke tubes and wrench. The 24" barrel is just enough shorter than the usual 28" to be a bit handier. The "EZ-Reach" forearm assembly is exactly that, although the tube is shorter than any other forearm tube (if you want to swap the forearm wood for something else you'll have to buy a different forearm tube). Probably the best feature is the buttstock's 13" length of pull. It is so much more comfortable for most applications than the ~14.5" LOP typically found on 500s. Bluing from the factory can be hit and miss on 500s (rub marks, typically), but mine was nice all around. Even after an initial cleaning the action was VERY (meaning too) tight at first, but it has gotten much better after just a moderate amount of shooting and it's about as smooth as a 500 gets. I like this configuration quite a bit.
