I’ve only owned a Mossberg 500 20 gauge (wood bantam Model) and i have been watching the v3 since it came out. Stuff finally aligned where I could pick one up and I am very impressed! I can’t believe how lightly it kicked with 1 1/8 oz Winchester Aa Heavy Target 7 1/2 loads which I picked up a 250 round case of and plan to use opening day of dove in september.
Mine was new but must be older (it was 560 dollars at GrabAGun) because I could not get the gas pistons out and the manual calls for 100 In lbs which I believe is an older spec. I am very impressed by the synthetic stock, these sure have come a long way!
Here is a pattern at 35 yards with the IC choke
Here is the Modified choke
I really ought to get big paper and do more patterning but right now do you think that IC choke is too holey for dove hunting and I should stick with Mod?
