Description
For the discerning sportsman who demands unparalleled versatility and reliability from their equipment, the challenge often lies in selecting a single firearm capable of excelling across diverse hunting and shooting disciplines. The need to transition seamlessly from the fast-paced action of wingshooting to the precision required for big game hunting typically necessitates investing in multiple specialized firearms. This is where the Mossberg 500 Field/Slug Combo 12 Gauge Shotgun, model 58244, emerges as the definitive solution, engineered to provide comprehensive performance from a single, trusted platform. It eliminates the compromise, offering a robust, adaptable system that ensures you are prepared for any scenario the field presents, making it an indispensable asset for any serious outdoorsman.
At the heart of this formidable package is the legendary Mossberg 500 pump action system, renowned for its exceptional reliability and smooth operation under the most demanding conditions. This tried-and-true pump action mechanism ensures consistent cycling and dependable performance, providing hunters and shooters with the confidence that their firearm will function flawlessly when it matters most. Chambered in the powerful and ubiquitous 12 Gauge, this shotgun offers a broad spectrum of ammunition choices, from light target loads to heavy magnum shells, making it incredibly versatile for everything from clay sports to waterfowl and large game. With a practical capacity of 5 + 1 rounds, the Mossberg 500 provides ample firepower for hunting excursions while adhering to common regulatory requirements, ensuring you have sufficient shots on hand for any engagement.
The true genius of the Mossberg 500 Field/Slug Combo lies in its dual barrel configuration, providing instant adaptability for different hunting applications. Included are two distinct barrels: a 28-inch smoothbore barrel, perfectly balanced for wingshooting, and a 24-inch barrel featuring a fully rifled bore. The longer 28-inch barrel provides an extended sight radius and smooth swing, crucial for accurately tracking and engaging fast-moving targets such as doves, pheasants, and ducks. It comes equipped with a traditional bead sight, offering rapid target acquisition for dynamic shooting scenarios. The shorter 24-inch barrel, with its fully rifled bore, is specifically designed to maximize the accuracy of sabot slugs, transforming the Mossberg 500 into a highly effective deer or hog hunting rifle, especially when paired with an optic. This combination ensures optimal performance whether you are pursuing upland birds or stalking big game in dense cover.
Further enhancing its field utility, both barrels feature a durable Matte Blue finish, which not only provides excellent resistance against corrosion and wear but also minimizes glare, preventing unwanted reflections that could alert game. The ergonomic tang safety, conveniently located on the top of the receiver, offers intuitive and ambidextrous operation, allowing for quick and secure manipulation even with gloved hands. This design ensures that the firearm can be made safe or ready to fire with minimal movement, a critical advantage in fast-changing hunting situations. While the field barrel features fixed bead sights for quick target acquisition, the inclusion of “SCOPE” in the product name signifies that the slug barrel is ideally suited for mounting a scope, allowing hunters to achieve precise shot placement at extended ranges, a necessity for ethical big game hunting.
Measuring an overall length of 46.375 inches with the longer barrel installed, the Mossberg 500 maintains a balanced profile that is both easy to handle in the field and comfortable to shoulder. While the shipping weight is listed at 13.4 pounds, reflecting the robust packaging and comprehensive accessory package, the firearm itself offers a substantial yet manageable weight, contributing to its stability and recoil absorption. As a product of Mossberg, a manufacturer with a century-long legacy of producing reliable and innovative firearms, the Model 500 is a testament to American craftsmanship and engineering. Its Manufacturer Part Number, 58244, and UPC 015813582445, ensure precise identification and authenticity, guaranteeing you receive a genuine Mossberg product backed by their reputation for quality.

It provides the flexibility to adapt to various hunting seasons and preferences without the need for multiple firearm purchases. Imagine transitioning from an early season dove hunt to a late season deer hunt with the same trusted receiver, simply by swapping barrels.
