OutdoorHub 04.30.13
On May 3, 2013, O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc, America’s oldest family-owned firearms manufacturer, will be presented with a 2013 Golden Bullseye Award for its ground-breaking, TLS modular 500 FLEX Shotgun System. Recognized by the staff of the American Rifleman for its innovative, cross-platform versatility, the FLEX Shotgun was named “Tactical Gun of the Year.” The award presentation will be made during the upcoming 2013 NRA Annual Meeting & Exhibits in Houston, Texas.
Presented annually by the NRA Publications division, the Golden Bullseye Awards acknowledge the finest products available in the shooting sports and are a symbol of excellence, innovation and quality. Consideration for a Golden Bullseye Award requires the product to be field-tested by a staff member or regular contributor to the magazine; prove to be reliable in the field; and meet or exceed expectations for design, function and value.
The FLEX Shotgun System is a series of modular 500 and 590 pump-action shotguns and accessories that feature the patented TLS (Tool-less Locking System), three connectors that allow stocks, forends and recoil pads to be interchanged for a variety of shooting applications. With this quick-change system, your FLEX shotgun can easily be converted from a rugged tactical platform to a hunting scattergun to a dedicated home defense gun in seconds!
