.270 WIN
Hi all,
Recently acquired a brand new 930 SPX (Non-PG). This is my first Mossberg, but not my first shotgun. I also had a Benelli M1 Super 90 Tactical Shotgun with PG and LPA GRS.
So far I like that the 930 SPX, is more comfortable to shoot then the Benelli; I guess because the Mossberg is Gas Operated vs Benelli is recoil operated. The Benelli is also an early version without the comfortech stock and kicks like a mule. They both share the same LPA GRS.
With regard to fit and finish the Benelli wins hands down, but at the cost of one Benelli...I could buy a 930SPX and a 590A1.
Something I'm not happy about is after taking out the 930SPX for the first time and shooting about 150 rounds of mixed Low Recoil Slugs, Reg and low recoil 00 Buck, and general use birdshot/clay ammo (Which all shot flawlessly). I dismantled the shotgun for a general cleaning and inspection to find the magazine tube to get a ridge and scratch.
the ridge/burr is deep enough to catch my finger nail and is where the gas piston would be. Anyone else have this issue?
The other thing that bugs me, the GRS rear sight is almost maxed out to the leftside of the windage adjustment.
