Fans of the shotgun just got a pair of higher-end versions to choose from, designed in collaboration with the legendary Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch fame. These Mossberg Thunder Ranch shotguns feature a distinctive Cerakote finish along with the Thunder Ranch logo. More importantly, the shotguns include a feature set built to run, whether for duty, defense or sport.
Mossberg Thunder Ranch Shotguns
The Thunder Ranch package comes on a new 590 and 940 Pro platform. Each shotgun includes a patent-pending optic-cut receiver for mounting low-profile microdot sight. The Patriot Brown Cerakote finish delivers a unique look and styling. Chambered in 12-gauge, the shotguns each run up to 3-inch shells.
“We are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with Mossberg. They have continuously provided quality shotguns for our clients and shooting community at affordable prices,” said Clint Smith, Thunder Ranch Director. “Say whatever you want about shotguns being archaic, they have proven themselves over and over to be very capable in defense of the individual, military member, and law enforcement officer for many years previous and for many more years to come.”
590 Thunder Ranch
Based on the legendary 500, the 590 Thunder Ranch includes the non-binding twin action parts and steel-to-steel lockup that made the pump-action famous. It maintains dual extractors, a drilled and tapped receiver and ambidextrous top-mounted safety. A convenient clean-out magazine tube with cap adds utility. A black synthetic stock employs a corncob-style forend. An 18.5-inch cylinder bore barrel wears a fiber-optic front sight.
The 590 Thunder Ranch utilizes a seven-round capacity. Suggested retail is $662.

Key features include an enlarged, beveled loading port and elongated, pinch-free elevator. A bright orange anodized follower, extended knurled charging handle and paddle-style bolt release add appeal.
