I shoot a Mossy 500 with their cantilever scope mount rifled barrel. I've got a Nikon 3-9 sitting on top. I bought this as a patch for a niche hog hunt I was doing on Ft Sill in SW OK.
Using the 400 gr Winchester platinum sabots, I routinely got 2.5" groups at 50 yards. Considering the sloppy trigger, I was happy with that.
Now, some things I would/am/already did consider with this setup are an improved recoil pad. The stock one is passable for shot shells, but not really up to the task of taming even the sabot slugs. After 4 boxes, my shoulder was done. Also, for the hunting aspect, get the Uncle Mikes sling studs and put a sling on it. Nikon now has the slughunter scope with a bullet drop compensator designed for sabots. I'm considering it next.
But, now I have moved to a new state which is shotgun only for deer:barf:. I am considering relegating the mossy to backup and investing in a dedicated slug slayer.
