Anyone know anything good or bad about these guns? Never owned a mossberg and am a little leary about buying one. I would love to have an auto 20 but dont wanna drop bank on a gun i will shoot only a couple times a year.

I own 2 of them, one for me and a youth model for my daughter, and a good friend owns 1 as well. We all really like them. We've had them about a year and a half and haven't had the first minutes trouble. Shoot a box of high brass through it and clean it good when you first get it to help with cycling the cheaper shells. I've killed rabbits and dove with mine, even a couple wood ducks. For the money, I don't think you can go wrong.

You asked for opinions and, no offense, here's mine. Spending money on a mossberg is a total waste.

Agree 100%..spend the extra money and get a Benelli

not gonna hurt my feelings lol, i have a general rule of thumb that if it isnt italian i aint buyn lol. But im so short sited and biased to think im smarter than gun designers so its very possible that mossberg made a good gun in th sa 20, thats why i asked. When i was younger i had a mossberg 500 20 gauge as my first gun and i would dare some one to call those guns junk after they owned one. They may not be pretty or feel solid but they shot without being cleaned much. Thats all im looking for in a small auto, somethin light and something that will burn shells as fast as i pull the trigger

or at least a beretta

well i shoot a DU edition mossberg 12 and i love it. one of my buddies shoots a benelli and his jams alot and mine keeps on shooting. but on his part some people say he just got a bad benelli?

I would agree with the "bad benelli" statement. Have seen 1 other that was a problem gun and unfixable. My dad, brother, and I have been shooting them since the early 90's (only dad is shooting a different Benelli now since he wore his out) and 99% of any problems I've had have been from the ammo. I love mine and would never shoot anything else.
