Albino Shotgun Lovers---

Mossberg came out with a 13 round snow hunting shotgun this year called the Yeti.

It has a cool Snake-esque pattern to it, sorta-kinda. :cool:

Im liking it :gj:

I have not seen that one yet, although I do like mossbergs as inexpensive, reliable shotguns. What are they selling those for?

They scare $1000 to death.

That's a lot for a mossberg, how can it hold 13 rounds? That would add some serious weight to a shotgun. Wonder what that would do to a decent swing. Any more pics of it?

$849.00

that chamber looks huge... You'd be better off getting a standard Mossberg 12g at Walmart and having someone dip it for you. lol.

I just googled that thing. Found it for 739 on one site. The pics look a little concerning to me. The chamber tube extends well beyond the barrel. Looks like a goose gun, but where can you legally carry a hunting gun that has a 13 round capacity? I know here it is three rounds.

My understanding is that is a spinoff of the J.M. Pro competition shotgun which starts out at $790.

JM stands for Jerry Mickulek, a very fast and successful competition shooter. He is considered the fastest revolver shooter of all time holding many World records.

The gun has an oversized charging handle. Some internal parts are anodized for smoother, faster shooting.

I reckon that you are paying $200 for the cool snow camo job.

Good idea if you're going after looks.

But if you want performance, the real deal is the way to go.

It's a 3 inch chamber rather than 2.75. For heavier loads.

It comes set up so that it is easily converted to a 5 round mag and you can stuff a plug in it.

Looks like it's set up for USPSA Three Gun competition.....in the snow Bwahahahaha

If I was going to spend that much on a shotgun, I am sorry it wouldn't be for that. I would just double what I was spending and get a b gun I/u

Yup

Pretty... but I'll just stick to my little .410 target plinker, and save that kind of money for the #1 .243 and .270 that I want to get.

What prompted someone to design this? I can't imagine a scenario where I would need the ability to have 13 rounds at the ready in the snow. Am I a Swiss military skier? After 2 or 3 shots, any living target is either dead or gone. Both circumstances don't require 10 more rounds for back up. In the snow you are already going to be heavily dressed so the additional weight of the loaded gun seems a burden, not to mention that most winter clothes have pockets where additional shells would fit.

Maybe if I lived in a polar region and I was only allowed one implement, then it makes sense. It could be a crutch, a club, a vaulting pole, and a spud to blow a hole in the ice for fishing. No fishing pole required, just shoot the fish.

While I don't disagree, some people carry a full clip in their concealed carry gun plus two extra clips. I guess the theory is, if you can carry it, why not. lol...

I don't know much about these "goose guns" but yea, the extended tube concerns me... I'm sure it would obviously get discolored from muzzleblast, and I wonder if it wouldn't start to get dissengrate in time?

I agree, it's an answer seeking out the question.

The only reason that I would ever buy this gun is IF I shot 3 gun competition and wanted a cool color.

The theory for at least one extra mag is simple, the number one reason for failures in an auto pistol is the mag. The mag is the weakest link.

Mr Murphy likes to show up during extreme stress and also when the odds are in his favor.
