It's been a long time.

Actually saw two of them at Dad's.

One he's had forever, the other he picked up a few years ago. Someone did a pretty neat job of shortening the fore-grip on the second one -- good enough that the seller advertised it as the "rare short-grip variation".

I have the tube fed version with aprature rear, and 4 blade target front sight in the safe. Shot a lot of stuff with it. It lived in a pocket behind the seat of my old truck for years.

It looks horrible but still shoots great. The trigger really could use some work.

Mossberg, correct? Not familiar with that version though.

Nasty vertical fore-grip. Better not show that to Pelosi, et al.

I see them here and there but have never owned one. Like uncowboy mentions, we recently saw one with a very neat front sight with 4 flip up blades and a rear peep. We actually went back to buy that'un but it was gone when we got back.

From what I have read, they will shoot with the the rest of 'em.

....the semi-auto version of that Mossberg.

The full sized, tube-fed vintage full rifles, are awesomely accurate. I use4d my Dad's to compete in Jr Matches at Camp Perry, and if I didn't shoot 'possible', it was not the rifle's fault. My gunsmith once told me that their barrel making was second to none, FWIW.
