Mossberg 500 12 Gauge Matte Blue Shotgun

The Mossberg 500 is a new 12-gauge pump-action shotgun with a 28-inch matte blue barrel, a vent rib and a bead sight. Its 3-inch chamber takes both 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch shells, and the magazine holds five rounds plus one in the chamber. It weighs 7.5 pounds and measures 47.5 inches overall, with a 14.5-inch length of pull. A black synthetic stock and an ambidextrous tang safety finish the configuration.

A full-size pump like this suits a Maine hunter who wants a plain, familiar field gun. The vent-ribbed barrel gives a clear sight line for upland and general field use, and the synthetic stock is built to hold up to changing weather. Maine's 2026 firearms deer season opens with a residents-only Saturday on October 31 and runs November 2 to November 28, so plan your range time before the opener.
