New Shotgun; Mossberg 500 20ga. PLUS PIC!
My fiancee and myself stopped into Orion Arms today to browse around, and wound up bringing home a new toy for her.
She has been wanting a shotgun for herself, (we'll be moving to the country in a little while,) and she knew she wanted a pump 20 gauge.
Well, they had a Mossberg 500 20gauge with the pistol grip stock for only $289, (and DiceDealer marked it down for me,) and we decided to take it home. I went ahead and dropped my collapsible stock on it for her and we headed out to shoot it. Pics below.
She liked it a lot with that stock on it. Didn't care for it so much with the pistol grip; but the price was right, so we're shopping for a cheap synthetic stock now as well. Future "improvements" also involve painting the forend and stock pink. Not my color choice, but hey; if it gets her excited, I'll paint it purple with orange strips and mount strobe lights and a disco ball on it. Pink is no problem.
Overall, I'm very impressed with it. Handles great, light recoil....nothing remarkable, but quite nice overall. Especially for the price.
