The Mossberg 53265 500 Tactical Turkey combines proven pump-action reliability with specialized turkey hunting features for consistent performance in the field. This 12-gauge shotgun delivers the versatility hunters need for both close-range and extended shots during turkey season.

What Makes This Different

The 20-inch ventilated rib barrel provides an optimal balance between maneuverability and accuracy, while the included X-Factor ported choke tube reduces felt recoil and muzzle jump. The dual extractors ensure reliable shell ejection even with heavy 3-inch magnum loads. The Mossy Oak Obsession camouflage pattern offers superior concealment in diverse hunting environments compared to standard woodland patterns.

Field performance centers on the shotgun's ability to handle various load types from light target loads to heavy magnum turkey loads.
