model 500 Field in .410 comes with a 26-inch barrel. The 935 Magnum Turkey 12-gauge has a 22-inch barrel. If you like old school, you’ll also like the new 500 and 590A1 Retro Pumps. These throwbacks feature walnut stocks, ventilated recoil pads, and corncob forends. The Model 500 has an 18.5-inch Cylinder-bore barrel, blued finish, and weighs 6.75 pounds. The 590A1 weighs 7 pounts and has a Parkerized finish, a 20-inch heavywalled barrel with a heat shield, and ghost ring sights. For shooters of small stature,
Mossberg is offering the 20-gauge 500 Flex Youth Field and Field/ Deer Youth Combo. Both accept the magically versatile and adjustable Flex buttstock. And, both are light—as they should be—for young shooters. Two of three new additions to the 590 Shockwave series are the Shock & Saw and SPX. The first has a unique removable top grip and a bottom-railed forend with M-Lok-compatible accessory mounting holes. The SPX has a receiver-mounted sidesaddle with seven interchangeable polymer shell-holder units, a removable top
rail, and barrel heat shield. Both have the Raptor bird’s-head pistol grip, which is uniquely shaped to minimize felt recoil. The final, and probably best, new Shockwave is the 590 Shockwave Laser Saddle. This is an important enhancement because as cool as these shotguns are, they’re difficult to shoot with precision. The addition of a Crimson Trace laser on the 590 solves this problem. Two new Model 835 shotguns will be appreciated by hunters. The 835 Ulti-Mag Tactical Turkey is coated in Mossy Oak Obsession camo, has a 20-inch
barrel, six-position adjustable stock with Flex pad, 3.5-inch chamber, adjustable fiber-optic sights, and a 5+1 capacity. The 835 Ulti-Mag Field/Deer Combo comes with a 28-inch field barrel and a 26-inch slug barrel fitted with adjustable sights. Booth #12734. (mossberg.com)
