Putting Mossberg’s New Optic-Ready 500 Turkey to the Test

The Optic-Ready 500 Turkey is one of three new pump-action shotguns from Mossberg. Red dots sights have been used on shotguns in 3-gun competition for decades but Mossberg has raised the bar by lowering the red dot down into the receiver of the Optics-Ready 500 Turkey.
