A buddy of mine that owns a pawn shop called me last summer and said he had a brand new Benelli 12 gauge in stock that he'd give me for 500. Went and picked up the gun and shot it... loved the way it felt. I just ended up spending the 500 on truck parts instead. I still love my Mossberg 500 20ga. I never shoot skeet (except on Trav's mom), only turkeys.
