Fully demonstrating that its products are modern, innovative and, indeed, even hip, Mossberg has joined forces with Duck Dynasty star and famed call maker and hunting guide Phil Robertson to offer not one, but a pair of Model 930 shotguns to go to the highest bidder in the 2015 SHOT Show Auction.
Why a pair? According to a press release from the Hunting Heritage Trust, which administers the SHOT Show auction for NSSF, one of the pair is a Duck Commander Signature Series Model 930 that Phil Robertson himself carried to duck hunt every single day of the 2013-’14 Louisiana Waterfowl season—and if you know only one thing about Phil Robertson, it’s that he shoots a lot of ducks. Robertson will sign the gun, which will also include an engraved, personalized Kick’s choke tube and a certificate of authenticity. To complement this well-used shotgun, Mossberg has paired it with a Duck Commander Pro Series Model 930, just introduced to the company’s extensive lineup of shotguns and designed in conjunction with legendary pro shooter Jerry Miculek. Together, the pair is called the “Old & New Duck Commander Signature Package.”
“This Duck Commander Signature Series 930 has proven to be a good and loyal duck hunting companion and I’m happy to donate it back to my friends at Mossberg so it can be auctioned to help raise funds in support of our hunting and shooting sports heritage,” Robertson said in the press release from Hunting Heritage Trust. “Although I’ve been known to be generous at times, I’m also inclined to be practical and I wasn’t about to let go of my Model 930 until the guys at Mossberg promised to fix me up with a new 2015 DC Pro Series. As much as I liked my old 930, I look forward to field testing the new model.”
The Old & New Duck Commander Signature Package will be offered exclusively through GunBroker.com at this link. These shotguns join a one-of-a-kind custom Hornady rifle, created by gunmaker Bill Wiseman & Company, up for bid at this link (the rifle will also be on display at the GunBroker.com booth #15147), while bidding for a custom Ross Tyser bowie knife takes place here. Bidding for all items closes at 5:00 p.m. EST on Jan. 23, the final day of the 2015 SHOT Show. Good bidding and good luck!
