Mossberg blue fitted hardcase holds Models 500®, 590®, 835®, 5500®, 9200®, plus two barrels, up to 12 chokes, sling, owner’s manual and cable lock. A great gift for the sporting enthusiast in your family. See photo to the right. $49.99 Close Out
Ships UPS oversize, $22.

I saw some where on shotgunworld.com that you can order this from Mossberg for ~$12 ... for what it's worth.

I finally looked at havlin's website. I thought it was a gray version of mine until I realized it was a B&W picture.

OK, who needs 12 choke tubes? Cyl, IC, Mod, IM, Full, X full, XX full, Skeet, Skeet 2 and you still have a few places to fill up...

Anyone know if those are TSA approved for travel?

probably not.
the hinges aren't very robust. I think you could break into it quite easily.

Re: blue mossberg case

I've seen cases for sets of 6 choke tubes, 12 seems crazy lots of choke tubes!!!

Re: blue mossberg case

They don't even make 12 different chokes for one single model. I guess you could keep spares.

Re: Range Bags

I carry my pistol range gear in a large Canon camera bag...




I like the padded dividers for separating pistols and ammo...



There's a wide pocket underneath the lid that's perfect for my extended mags...



The side pockets hold about a dozen mags each...



The front pocket is perfect for carrying eye protection, ear plugs, tools, etc...

Awesome!

My wife is going to be Pissed when she can't find Her Camera bag :mrgreen:

Re: Range Bags

You guys are great in posting images ... I have to steal pictures.

Here is my main range bag ... this Midway USA bag works fantastic. It has about 14 magazine slots, 9 pockets, a removable bag, 2 pistol rugs, and more. Yesterday, I carried 3 pistols (in cases), 20 magazines, 2 electronic ear muffs, 2 water bottles, hundreds of bullets, eye protection, etc... and much more. I got it on sale for about $32 a few months ago.

I've got the same bag which I use if I'm going for pistol practice. They are a great value when you get them on sale. I've got a padded bull dog case for my shotgun. I usually carry a sling bag for ammo if I'm going to practice with the big dog.

Any suggestions for hard carry case for Mossberg 500?

For those of you who have a knoxx stock or a talom tactical stock. What kind of gun case (preferrably the hard type) do you guys carry it in and where did you buy it? Everywhere I have looked around here does not have one that will fit. Right now I have to carry it around in one of those gun socks for tactical rifles. My concern with that is that I have to carry the shotgun around in my trunk and I need a way to keep it from getting dinged up while being jostled around. I guess if there was a way I could hang it up in the trunk of the lincoln the gun sock would be okay. Until I figure that out though I need a hard case for it. Any suggestions?

Lazy had posted some stuff he used for traveling.

Plano is a decent case, and you can get the pillar locking type. I use a Plano hard case, but not pillar locking, I can put 2 full length shotguns in it.

Re: Any suggestions for hard carry case for Mossberg 500?

Okay, I will check those out and check the measurements on them. I am trying to keep it under 115.00 if possible.

Re: Any suggestions for hard carry case for Mossberg 500?

Here is one for $99... looks like it has an ar in it, but it could work. Optics Planet has fairly decent prices sometimes ..

I was just looking for one the other day at Bass Pro Shop. They have a Plano (non-pillar locking model) that holds two long guns for $50 - $60.

Re: Any suggestions for hard carry case for Mossberg 500?

You can pick up a Plano Protector Series Pillar-lock case for under $50! I picked mine up at Academy Sports for $39.99...





It's sturdy enough for me to feel comfortable transporting my AR when flying, so it'd be well suited for trunk travel. They make several different sizes that can be found at Academy, Dick's Sporting Goods, Bass Pro, Cabellas, etc.

That one is nice. I like how the gun fits down inside the foam

Academy was one place I didnt check. We have one about 30 minutes away.

There is a pillar lock one with straps that holds two guns on amazon for around 50 dollars. It is also a plano.

Re: Any suggestions for hard carry case for Mossberg 500?

I might suggest laying it out the way you want and making measurements. Then check out Pelican Cases and make you a custom case.

I don't have one for mine yet but I do have 2 other Pelican cases and they have taken a beating and still work fine.

They do sell direct.

I have it measured (the gun) and if I remember corectly which I may not it is 36" in length and the width with the ghost rings and pistol grip and stock makes it 22" most of the ones I have seen were only about 14" wide.

Re: Any suggestions for hard carry case for Mossberg 500?

That sounds a bit much for width. I can't imagine it being much more than 12 inches, My Spec-Ops with 40mm scope on see through rings on my 835 is only 10 wide but 47-1/2 long. I know you were not wanting to spend that much money but I was thinking about DW3300 - 50" L x 14.0" W x 6.0" H from Pelican. http://www.pelican-case.com/472-pwc-dw3300-blk-blk.html. Built to hold 2 weapons and inner soft case doubles as a shooting pad.

Re: Any suggestions for hard carry case for Mossberg 500?

I love my Pelican cases but apart from the price, their one drawback is that they are heavy as #@&%. They're perfect for transporting or storing firearms, but I think they're overkill for the occasional range trip.

I do like the model nasa posted with the removeable inner soft case/shooting pad. That's pretty cool...

Like I said I may not recall correctly. It has been a couple weeks since I measured it.

Re: Any suggestions for hard carry case for Mossberg 500?

Indeed the one nasa just posted is nice. Unfortunately it is out of my price range though. I may just hit up academy sports and see what they have at the one here.
