I was browsing the local pawn shop today, looking for another fixer-upper project rifle. I've completed my 10/22, and I'm now looking for something with a little more punch, to eventually hunt either boar or deer with. They had several of the typical Rem 700's, and a few winchesters as well, but all were a bit pricey, and didn't really need any work. I did come across a Mossberg 810AH though, in fair condition. I would put the barrel and reciever at 75%, but the stock closer to 50%, it was pretty scratched up, with a couple gouges through the finish. However, they had $249 marked on it, and said they were willing to deal on the price. 249 seems good for any 30-06, but I know nothing about this model, I've always associated mossberg with shotguns. After searching around google and here, I found a little information, but not much, especially regarding accuracy. Also, the gun appeared to be the late style, with the hinged mag floor, which seems like a nice feature. Anyways, here's my questions:
1. How is the accuracy, would this gun compare to something like a 700?
2. How hard is it to find parts? I've only found one website, that did have a nice looking stock for it.
3. What's it worth? I'm thinking they would probably go down to 200 or 225, which seems like a good deal.
4. Any oddities/annoyances (like oddball scope bases, etc)? It had a cheapo scope on it, and the rings/bases looked standard, but I'm not an expert.
Any info is much appreciated, as of right now I think I probably will pick it up this week.
