The Mossberg 500 Persuader -...Noisy stick, indeed. The Mossberg 500 Persuader - an excellent firearm and at 20 ga, very manageable and little recoil, even with the 18" bbl. I've one in 12 ga with 26" bbl and an aftermarket 18" bbl. <BR/><BR/>Now, I've my own opinion on the utility of pistol grips, but that's another story for another time. You use what <B>you're</B> comfortable with. But again, the Mossberg 500, an excellent firearm.<BR/><BR/>For bear I'd load it in either slug or maybe even more effective in "Oh sh*t, a grizzly!" situations, a No 3 buckshot load which has more pellets than a 00 load, but still is very deadly at close range. And, practice, practice, practice.<BR/><BR/>Be safe out there in them woods!Gun Trashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312012435197709902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10615369.post-1118927041512368432005-06-16T09:04:00.000-04:002005-06-16T09:04:00.000-04:00Gunner- Thanks for this great advice.

I do not have bells but I do have a very loud scream, 2 cans of bear repellant- resently saw a video of a woman who had been mauled and after the spray ran out she used the can upside the bears nose which actually seemed more helpful- and most importantly Santa brought me a Mossburg 20 gauge Persuader with a 18 inch barrel and a pistol grip. Fight great on the back when wandering through trees etc and I am hoping will be a better "peruader" then the can.<BR/><BR/>I say who needs a staff to rule- One just needs a noisy stick-heheRed Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949875017095364809noreply@blogger.com
