The first shotgun I ever actually bought (July 99) was a Mossberg Model 500 12 gauge Persuader. Out the door price (WalMart) was $205.99. For some reason, they don’t sell these any more.

Great shotgun!.....mag tube holds 8 shells, and one in the chamber.

Wow... the exact model I bought then is more than double in MSRP now.
