[QUOTE="Tele-Caster, post: 777447, member: 8545"] I voted "other" because I'll be using my 30 year old 20-bore New Haven 600 (A "house brand" Mossberg 500) that I got for Christmas when I was 14. The wood is mahogany with a lot of figure in the butt and I've kept it in pretty good shape so it basically presents as new. The receiver had some wear on the anodizing, so I'm having that refinished and having a Limbsaver recoil pad installed. When new, the gun had a 28" "C-Lect Choke" barrel on it. About 20 years ago, I got a 24" vent rib Accu-Choke barrel, which improved the handling of the gun greatly. I use extended sporting clays chokes with it. I like the location of the safety on the gun. A couple of years after I got it, the plastic safety selector button broke and I used metal shop class to make a new one out of brass. I like the modular design and easy maintenance of this gun. With the 24" barrel, it balance nicely between the hands and is a sweet swinger. The action is so slick that the thing pretty much reloads itself. I'll be running Skeet 2, Improved Cylinder, and Improved Mod. chokes most likely. I'll be shooting 7/8 ounce reloads in AA hulls, with 8's and 7 1/2's for shot. The gun has gone through several thousand rounds and aside from the crummy plastic safety button breaking, it has been totally reliable. It ain't the most impressive shooting implement to many, but it works very well for me, and I'll never part with it. -JP [/QUOTE]
