I too have the Mossburg 500 with rifled barrel. But that hasn't seen the woods since I bought my CVA Accura V2! Love that gun more then any! Since my land literally is on the wrong side road no rifles allowed! The Muzzleloader hunting has definitely made me a better deer killer also, slowes you down and makes you take only perfect shot. Zero back up, closest you can get to bow hunting situations with a gun. Good luck every one tomarrow, shoot straight and knock em stiff!
