Mossberg 500 Field/Deer Combo 12 Gauge, 28/24 Inch Barrels

Description

The Mossberg 500 Field/Deer Combo is built for hunters who want a single platform that covers both upland birds and whitetail deer without buying two separate shotguns. The logic is straightforward: two barrels, each optimized for a different task, sharing the same receiver, stock, and magazine tube.

The 28-inch vent-rib barrel is the field barrel, intended for moving birds and clays. The rib gives you a consistent sighting plane as the gun swings, and the longer barrel lets the shot column accelerate fully before leaving the muzzle, which matters when you’re reaching out on crossing birds. It ships with an Accu-Set of choke tubes so you can dial constriction to match the game and load.

The 24-inch barrel is a fully rifled Slugster, purpose-built for deer hunting with sabot slugs. Rifling imparts spin stabilization the same way a rifle barrel does, which is what allows sabot slugs to hold accuracy at distances where a smoothbore Foster slug would drift. The receiver features an integral scope mount, and this combo includes a Dead Ringer 2.5x20mm scope already matched to that barrel. The dual-comb synthetic stock lets you adjust cheek weld height to switch between a scope-ready cheek position for the slug barrel and a lower position for the bead-sighted field barrel — an important practical detail that makes swapping barrels genuinely useful rather than just a marketing bundle.

The tang safety sits directly under the thumb of the firing hand, making it fast to disengage without breaking your grip or shifting your eye off target. At 5+1 capacity in a pump action, the 500 is a straightforward, durable platform that has proven itself reliable across decades of hard field use.
