MOSSBERG 500 HUNTING ALL PURPOSE FIELD

Design and core features

The MOSSBERG 500 HUNTING ALL PURPOSE FIELD is built around proven components for smooth operation. Steel lockup and dual extractors provide robust reliability under repeated use, while Quiet Carry twin action bars reduce wobble and deliver a consistent pump stroke. An ambidextrous tang safety makes the gun intuitive for right- or left-handed shooters, and the anti-jam elevator helps clear difficult loads quickly in the field.

Specifications that matter

This variant ships as a 12 gauge with a 6-round capacity and a 3″ chamber—ideal for typical hunting loads and general-purpose use. The 28″ vent rib barrel combined with twin bead sights supports quick target acquisition at varied ranges. Accu-Set choke allows you to tune the pattern for different game or distances. Length of pull is a fixed 13.875″ with a blued barrel finish and wood stock; the package weighs 7.5 lbs and measures 47.5″ overall.

Price-conscious buyers will note the listed price of $444.99, which positions this model competitively among field-ready pump shotguns. View product details and pricing on our shop page to confirm current availability and options.

Performance in the field

On the shooting line, the 12 gauge platform delivers the versatility hunters expect—effective patterning with the Accu-Set chokes and a comfortable balance between recoil and hit probability. The optional Lightning Pump Action with an adjustable skeletonized blade trigger is a worthwhile upgrade for shooters who want a crisper, more ergonomic trigger feel without compromising reliability.

Why this Mossberg stands out

Mossberg’s reputation for durable, cost-effective pump actions is reinforced by the 500 Hunting’s layout: practical sights, a vent-rib barrel for clay or bird work, and field-focused ergonomics. Being offered in multiple stock, barrel, and finish options makes it simple to configure for scattergun duty or serious upland days.
