Mossberg Gun Named as Shotgun of the Year

Nags Head, NC – -(AmmoLand.com)-The Youth Shooting Sports Alliance (YSSA) recently announced that O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. has generously donated a collection of sparingly used shotguns to the YSSA in support of their new Donated Firearms Program.

Mossberg, the leader in introducing important design breakthroughs to the firearm industry since 1919, donated seven Mossberg Model 500C 20 ga. shotguns and twelve Mossberg Model 835 12 ga. shotguns to the program. Several of these donated firearms are Mossberg combo models which feature a combination of shotgun barrel and rifled barrel for different hunting applications.

The Donated Firearms program, featured on YSSA’s website www.youthshootingsa.com, encourages the donation of firearms which, in turn, will be sold on GunBroker.com – the web’s largest hunting and sport shooting auction. Firearms are listed without a reserve bid and are awarded to the highest bidder. The Youth Shooting Sports Alliance, a 501(c)(3) private foundation, will provide donors with a tax deductible receipt upon the sale of each firearm.

Mark Kresser, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Mossberg, states “We have enjoyed our partnership with the Youth Shooting Sports Alliance and we count on the recommendations of the YSSA regarding the youth shooting sports programs that promise the greatest potential for growth and participation levels. With their guidance, we are confident that our support will help elevate local shooting sports from ‘good’ to ‘excellent.’”

“The Donated Firearms Program provides an opportunity for sportsmen and women to donate their old guns and help the YSSA build the next generation of shooters” said David Baron, President of Baron Technology, Inc. and President of YSSA. Baron added “It may be just your old gun, but put in the right hands, it can help sustain the sport of shooting while strengthening the core values of the next generation of shooters and hunters.”

Mossberg’s products are built to world-class levels of manufacturing standards and for more than a decade, the Mossberg pump-action shotgun models have served as one of the most practical shotguns ever made. For more information on Mossberg products, visit their website at www.mossberg.com.

Mossberg 590A1 Tactical Shotguns SPX

Mossberg 930 SPX Shotgun Receives Golden Bullseye Award

Mossberg 500 Persuader/Cruiser 3-inch 20 Gauge 6-Shot Shotgun

Classification: Long Guns
Category: Shotguns
Model Name: 500 Persuader/Cruiser
Manufacturer: Mossberg
Model Number: 3-inch 20-gauge 6-shot

GunReports.com

GunReports.com - -(AmmoLand.com)- In their commercial form, the Persuaders are virtual duplicates of the Mossberg military 500 and 590 models. Persuader shotguns are available in both 18.5-inch and 20-inch barrel lengths, traditional blued or non-glare matte finishes, and some come with Ghost Ring sights. Available in .410 bore, 20- and 12-gauge models, Mossberg Special Purpose shotguns feature an anti-jam elevator, dual extractors, black synthetic stocks, and drilled and tapped receivers (20 and 12 gauge only) for scope base and Optics installation. The Persuader/Cruiser models come with standard stocks, but also include a Cruiser-style pistol grip kit, which we didn’t use in our testing.

The Mossberg Persuader 20 gauge in this test had a fixed Cylinder choke blued-steel barrel, single front-bead sight, and 5+1 capacity. As we noted above, in the September 2005 issue we tested the Mossberg Persuader Model 590A1 12 Gauge Magnum No. 51411, and we’ve also checked out a similar 5+1 12-gauge 500A Persuader No. 50411 in the January 2001 issue. The major differences between the 20 and the 12s are the heavy barrel and matte-black Parkerized finish on the No. 51411 tested in 2005.

The 20-gauge 6-shot No. 50452 measured 38 inches in overall length. The receiver was aluminum. The stock and forearm were black pebbled polymer, and the buttstock had an LOP of 14 inches, a drop at comb of 1.7 inches, and a drop at heel of 2.5 inches. There was no cast. The gun had no rib, and the front sight was a simple gold bead. A plus was Mossberg’s 10-year warranty.

Operating the Mossberg, we could work both the safety and the slide release without changing the shooting-hand grip and without having to dismount the shotgun. To rack the slide, we pulled the trigger finger off the trigger and depressed the action-lock lever with the middle knuckle of the right hand. Lefties had it even easier; they could pull the trigger finger off the trigger and release the button without having to shift the hand on the grip. The Mossberg tang safety was likewise

Courtesy, Gun Tests

The Persuader/Cruiser models come with standard stocks, but also include a cruiser-style pistol grip kit. The Persuader had more stock pitch than the Express and had a ventilated recoil pad, both of which helped reduce recoil.

ambidextrous, positive, and easy to get to.

The stocks are similar in that they are composite plastic with the same basic measurements, but there are differences. The pistol grip on the Mossberg is about an inch shorter than the Remington.

We preferred the longer grip area of the Express; mainly because it allowed the shooter to have a flatter reach to the trigger, rather than having to cock the hand down to reach the trigger. However, the Mossberg came with a pistol grip, which gave it flexibility the other gun couldn’t match. With the pistol grip on, the Mossberg measured only 29 inches in length and weighed less than 5 pounds.

We thought the pebbled finish on the pistol grip and forend didn’t provide as good a grip surface as the Remington’s checkering. When we tried to shoot the Mossberg fast, our sweaty hands would either slide off the forend or loosen on the buttstock grip. The Mossberg, however, had a noticeably better buttpad than the Express, in our view. Its ventilated design was much softer, and the edges were already rounded. The Mossberg’s front sight was rudimentary, but effective, and we could see the gold bead on the Persuader better than the gray bead on the Express. Also, the Mossberg’s receiver was drilled and tapped for Optics. This was a nice touch the other gun lacked.

Elsewhere, though we judged the large opening in the receiver to allow for easy loading and unloading, sometimes the nose of a shell caught on the feeder bar, causing a jam. And while we were handling the gun dry, we noticed that the forearm felt loose, and pressure on the forearm caused the action to stick. But while we were shooting live rounds fast, neither was a problem.

Mossberg 500 Persuader Cruiser 3-inch 20 Gauge 6-Shot Shot Gun

Mossberg Delivers “Braking News” With Their Rimfire Line Up

New Mossberg Muzzle Brakes

Mossberg

North Haven, CT  - -(AmmoLand.com)- Mossberg International puts on the brakes – muzzle brakes, that is! Adding to its already extensive line of bolt-action and semi-automatic rimfire rifles, Mossberg International is offering five new muzzle brake Plinkster and other rimfire models packed full of features.

Muzzle brakes are now available on the following models: the standard 702 Plinkster® (.22 LR autoloading), the scoped 802 Plinkster™ (.22 LR bolt-action with 4x scope) and the scoped model 817 (.17 HMR with 3-9×40 scope). In addition, muzzle brakes will be fit onto a scoped model 817 with a thumbhole stock and Tipdown forend (.17HMR with 3-9×40 scope), and lastly, an 817 (.17HMR) will offer a complete package of a muzzle brake plus an upgraded 4-16×50 scope featuring sun shade, flip open lens protectors and a bi-pod.

The muzzle brake reduces recoil in an already mild shooting platform, increasing one’s ability for a more accurate follow-up shot. This benefits the shooter whether plinking at tin cans or hunting small game.

These new Plinkster and rimfire rifles are the perfect go-anywhere kind of gun, with the built-in features normally found on rifles that cost much more. For example, the thumbhole stock with a Tipdown forend provides a vertical, pistol-like grip for both hands, which offers the most natural, ergonomic position for the human hand to assume when holding a rifle to the shoulder. This results in a more natural positioning of the hands and a comfort level more conducive to accurate shooting, be it from the prone, kneeling, sitting or off-hand positions.

Whether your idea of fun is serious marksmanship practice, chasing small game or just plinking around, Mossberg has a model that fits the bill.

702/802/817 – Muzzle Brake Models–Key Features

• Select 702/802/817 rimfire models now offered with recoil-reducing muzzle brake.
• Black Synthetic stocks (817 also available in a Thumbhole stock with Tipdown forend).
• Convenient cross bolt safety and magazine release buttons.
• Detachable 10-round magazine (702, 802)
• Detachable 5-round magazine (817).
• 18″ (702 and 802) and 21″ (817) blued barrels.

O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. Continues Support Of Priority Youth Shooting Sports Programs

Mossberg 935 Magnum Turkey Gun

North Haven, Connecticut - -(ShootingWire.com)- For turkey hunters looking to step up to a high performance autoloader, Mossberg has expanded their offering and introduces two 930 Turkey guns with a new pistol grip stock, allowing greater handling and control when sighting in on Ol’ Tom.

The new Mossberg 930 turkey models are the latest iteration of the 930™ family of autoloading shotguns. The pistol grip full-length stock offers a 13″ length of pull, making it ideal for shooting from a blind, or leaning up against a tree when calling in a long beard. The 24″ ported barrel and the dual gas vent system make this compact package easy to maneuver while minimizing recoil and muzzle lift. This design enables greater versatility and better balance for the hardcore turkey hunter.

The new pistol grip 930 is extremely versatile – developed for use with 12 gauge 2-3/4″ and 3″ factory loaded shotshells…from low-brass 1 oz target loads to non-toxic, heavy hitting magnum rounds. The receiver is drilled and tapped from the factory making it ideal for Red dot scopes or other optic systems. The Uni-Line receiver has a soft, angled edge that marries the receiver with the stock perfectly, providing instinctive eye/sight alignment for instant target acquisition. Another feature on this value packed autoloader is an easy-to-operate, quick-empty magazine button that unloads the shotshells from the magazine in a quick, convenient manner. All Mossberg 930 Turkey models feature XX-Full extended choke for a tight, consistent pattern and the fully adjustable front and rear fiber optic sights allow for low light shooting conditions. The new 930 Turkey with pistol grip stock is available in two configurations: Mossy Oak® Obsession® and with matte blued barrel/black synthetic stock.

The 930 Autoloader ranks as one of the best values in American-made 3″ Autoloaders on the market today – an eye catching, top-of-the-line shotgun that any hunter or shooter would be proud to own.

Mossberg Introduces New 935 Magnum Shotgun With Ambidextrous Design

Mossberg 935 Magnum Turkey Gun

North Haven, Connecticut – The Mossberg 935 Magnum series has certainly taken more than its fair share of gobblers, continuing to prove itself as the pinnacle in performance for a 3 ½” autoloading shotgun. Mossberg expands this product line this year with the introduction of a pistol grip stock configuration on their 935 Magnum™ Turkey model.

The pistol grip, full-length stock offers a 13″ length of pull, which provides ease of mobility when calling in “Boss Tom.” The dual gas-vent system releases excess gas to aid in recoil reduction and eliminate stress on operating components making for a rugged and reliable turkey gun.

Developed for use with 12 gauge 3″ and 3-1/2″ factory loaded shotshells, the 935 Magnum comes from the factory with a 22″ overbored barrel. Unlike other brands, which offer “backbored” barrels, Mossberg’s overbore design spans the entire length of the barrel, providing a gas cushion for the shot charge. Not only does this reduce felt recoil, it reduces pellet deformation and internal friction. The result is exceptionally uniform, dense shot patterns that Mossberg models are known for. Couple this with Mossberg’s X-Factor™ Ported Tube, and you have the recipe for a tasty turkey dinner.

Drilled and tapped from the factory, the receiver is ready to accept bases for Red dot scopes, or other optic systems. Another feature on this value packed autoloader is an easy-to-operate, quick-empty magazine button that unloads the shotshells from the magazine in a quick, convenient manner. The fully adjustable front and rear fiber optic sights make for rapid target acquisition in low light shooting conditions. The pistol grip 935 Magnum Turkey is available in Mossy Oak® Obsession®.

Mossberg 590A1 Tactical Shotguns Now Available To General Public

National Wild Turkey Federation’s Convention

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -(AmmoLand.com)- Contestants can compete in two species categories: white-tailed deer and wild turkey; and three skill divisions: professional, masters and commercial. The NWTF’s taxidermy contest is one of the premier taxidermy exhibits in North America, and this year’s competition will not disappoint.

Shawn Whitehead of Lexington, Ky., two-time winner in the NWTF’s Wild Turkey Master’s Category, returns to the NWTF’s taxidermy competition year after year for the chance to compete against new talent in a unique competition.

“Highly skilled competitors show up every year, which heats up the competition and keeps me working to be the best,” Whitehead said. “But what really sets the NWTF’s competition apart is that, unlike other taxidermy contests, it’s part of a large convention that offers booths to browse for the latest and greatest hunting and fishing gear, plus seminars and entertainment. I also like that the NWTF’s competition allows me to compete against other taxidermists in a turkey-specific category instead of going up against artists who work with with all types of birds.”

Visit the taxidermy judging area to see this amazing display of wildlife art, which is sponsored by Mathews, Inc., Mossberg Firearms and Longleaf Camo.

About:
The NWTF is a national nonprofit conservation organization that was founded in 1973 and has worked with wildlife agencies to restore wild turkey populations from 1.3 million wild turkeys to nearly 7 million today. Now, NWTF’s volunteers raise funds and work daily to improve critical wildlife habitat, increase access to public hunting land and introduce new people to the outdoors and hunting.

National Wild Turkey Federation’s Convention Taxidermy Competitions

North Haven, Connecticut – For 90 years Mossberg has been a leader in the design and manufacturing of firearms in the hunting, shooting, military and law enforcement community. This year marks another great year for Mossberg as they introduce the new Lightning Bolt Action (LBA) Trigger System for their Centerfire bolt action rifles – enhancing the performance and accuracy while keeping safety in the forefront of its development.

With its distinctive skeletonized lightning bolt trigger blade, the Lightning Bolt Action Trigger System offers the best in form and functionality, giving the shooter the flexibility of adjusting the trigger pull without the need of taking their rifle to a gunsmith. A simple twist of a standard screwdriver enables the LBA trigger to adjust from 2 to 7lbs. The design of the LBA trigger’s sear engagement offers a truly crisp, creep-free trigger, optimizing accuracy. The LBA trigger blade blocks the sear from releasing the striker unless the blade is fully depressed, even at the lightest adjustment setting. The trigger assembly is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum then hard-coat anodized to military specifications, preventing corrosion and minimizing wear over time.

With Mossberg’s extensive line of 4×4 and 100ATR® bolt action rifles, you can expect to find the new LBA Trigger System in over 100 models in 2009. The LBA Trigger System is taking Mossberg’s line of firearms to the next level in accuracy and performance.

Founded in 1919, O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. is the oldest family-owned firearms manufacturer in America, and is the largest pump-action shotgun manufacturer in the world. Leading the way with over 100 design and utility patents to its credit, and standing as the first ISO 9001 certified long-gun manufacturer, Mossberg is considered to be one of the most innovative firearms manufacturers in U.S. history.

For more details on the new LBA Trigger System or the complete line of commercial, special purpose, law enforcement and military shotguns, rifles and accessories, please call your local Mossberg dealer or visit us online at www.mossberg.com.
