Mossberg 500 Field/Deer Combo 20 Gauge 5+1 Dual Barrel Set

The Mossberg 54282 500 Field/Deer combo delivers exceptional versatility with two purpose-built barrels in one complete package. This 20-gauge shotgun configuration eliminates the need for separate firearms by providing both field hunting and slug hunting capabilities. The dual-barrel system maximizes hunting opportunities across different seasons and terrain types.

What Makes This Different

Unlike single-barrel shotguns that limit hunting applications, this combo package includes both a 26-inch vented rib barrel for upland birds and waterfowl, plus a 24-inch rifled Slugster barrel optimized for deer hunting accuracy. The rifled bore design improves slug accuracy significantly compared to smooth bore alternatives. Both barrels feature the same receiver threading for quick, tool-free barrel changes in the field.

Key Features

• Dual barrel configuration: 26" vented rib field barrel and 24" rifled Slugster barrel
• 20-gauge chambering handles 2¾" and 3" shells with 5+1 capacity
• Blued steel construction with traditional wood stock and forend
• Dual extractors ensure reliable shell ejection with various ammunition types
• Ambidextrous top-mounted safety accessible for both left and right-handed shooters
• Anti-jam elevator prevents shell hang-ups during rapid cycling
• Drilled and tapped receiver accepts scope mounts and rail systems

The vented rib barrel excels in upland game scenarios where quick target acquisition matters, while the rifled Slugster barrel delivers the accuracy needed for ethical deer harvests at extended ranges. The 20-gauge chambering provides substantial knockdown power with reduced recoil compared to 12-gauge alternatives. Weather-resistant blued finish protects against moisture and field conditions throughout hunting seasons.
