Here’s the thing—when it comes to hunting, specialization often means owning multiple firearms. This Mossberg 500 combo challenges that notion by delivering two dedicated tools in one package. The 24-inch barrels offer a great balance: long enough for a clean swing on a flushing bird or a steady aim on a deer, but not so long they snag on every branch in the Missouri timber. At a total weight around 7.5 pounds, it’s manageable for long stalks. The price point of $543.78 represents significant value, effectively giving you two capable guns for less than the cost of buying them separately. This package ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Who This Combo Is For
This is for the pragmatic hunter. It’s for the landowner who needs to manage both turkey populations in the spring and deer in the fall. It’s ideal for the new hunter building a versatile, do-it-all kit without breaking the bank. It’s also a solid choice for the seasoned woodsman who appreciates the utter reliability of the Mossberg 500 action and wants a dedicated foul-weather gun that won’t make him hesitate when the rain starts. The dual-barrel system means you’re never compromising—you have the right tool for the specific game and season, with optics mounting options typically available for the rifled deer barrel if you want to add a scope.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Unmatched versatility for two major game types. Mossberg 500 reliability is legendary. Camo finish protects the metal and reduces glare. Cost-effective compared to buying two separate firearms. The 5-round capacity is standard and practical. The system is drop-in ready—swap barrels in seconds with no gunsmithing required.
Cons: Pump action requires manual cycling, which can be slower than a semi-auto. The 24″ barrel may feel long for tight-quarter still-hunting compared to an 18.5″ home defense model. You’ll need secure storage for the barrel not in use. While versatile, it’s not a dedicated waterfowl gun or a home defense shotgun without further modification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use the rifled barrel for turkey hunting with shot shells?
A: No, you should not. Firing shot through a rifled barrel will produce a poor, scattered pattern, making clean, ethical turkey harvests unlikely. Always use the smoothbore barrel with appropriate choke tubes for turkey hunting.
Q: What type of slugs should I use with the rifled barrel?
A: For best accuracy, use modern sabot slugs designed specifically for rifled shotgun barrels. Avoid using traditional foster-style rifled slugs in the rifled barrel, as they are intended for smoothbores.
Q: Is the camo finish durable?
A: Mossberg’s factory-applied Mossy Oak finishes are quite durable for field use. They resist scratches and moisture well, but like any camo finish, they aren’t indestructible. The benefit is maintenance-free corrosion protection and immediate concealment right out of the box.
