Description
The Mossberg 500 Turkey in 20 gauge is built for hunters who want a dedicated close-cover bird gun without the weight and recoil penalty of a 12 gauge. The lighter payload of 20 gauge shells reduces felt recoil meaningfully, which matters on early mornings when you may be shooting from awkward positions in a ground blind or off shooting sticks — and it leaves room to run heavier specialty turkey loads without punishing the shooter. The 22-inch barrel strikes a practical balance for hunting: long enough to provide a deliberate swing and solid sight radius, short enough to maneuver through brush and tight blinds without catching on cover.
The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics, and this package ships with a Holosun HS407K red dot already included. The HS407K is a compact open-emitter dot designed around the Shield RMSc footprint, which keeps the optic low over the bore — useful on a shotgun where cheek weld determines your zero. The fiber optic front sight remains in place as a backup, giving you a mechanical aiming option if the optic is ever off or depleted. The tang safety sits at the top rear of the receiver, directly under the shooting thumb, allowing a positive on-safe or off-safe movement without shifting your grip.
The entire exterior wears Mossy Oak Greenleaf, a pattern designed around the bright green foliage of spring turkey season. It covers the synthetic stock, forend, and barrel, keeping visual break-up consistent across the whole gun. The synthetic stock shrugs off weather and ground moisture that would stress a wood-stocked gun over a season of early-morning sits.
