Today, December 11th, Mossberg has announced the introduction of the Retrograde Series pump-action shotguns. This includes the 500 Persuader and 590A1. This was done to go along with Mossberg's 100th anniversary coming up in 2019.
The two shotguns have been extremely popular over the years, and many of you own, or have owned one them at one time.
Mossberg 500 Persuader Retrograde - Available with an 18.5 inch (6 shot) cylinder bore barrel; topped with single front brass bead sight; blued metal finish; and full-length walnut stock and corncob forend.
MSRP - $504
Mossberg 590A1 - Built to MIL-SPEC standards, this 9-shot 590A1 has 20 inch heavy-walled, cylinder bore barrel complete with a heat shield, bayonet lug and Ghost Ring sights. This retro model also has a Parkerized finish; metal trigger assembly; metal safety button; and wears a full-length walnut stock and corncob forend.
MSRP - $902
Personally, I like the 590 with walnut furniture and Ghost Sights. I realize it has some upgrades, nothing too wild though, so I was rather surprised to see the price just south of $1000.
What do you think of the Retrograde release? Let us know.
