Mossberg MVP 223
« on: August 07, 2011, 05:05:45 PM »
In the past I have just not taken the Mossberg rifles serious at all, I just saw no point for me personally. I have seen some favorable reviews & I have noticed that Lloyd has seen good results w3ith some that his family shoots. So, I have been thinking maybe I have maybe been a little hard on them.
 
Anyway, they have introduced a rifle that has caught my eye. I have been gathering all the info I can since 6mmbr had a intro on it about 3 months ago. It is called a MVP, a bolt action with a 24", 1-9 fluted Varmit tube, laminated stock & accepts AR mags. Looks good, if the barrel is good, I can see buying one, my brother has one on order.

If I had any need for a .223 I would like to try one out.  They look pretty decent.  Look forward to a range report from someone who has one.

Just went and looked at it. I couldn't own one of them. I think the old Mod 800's were a lot better looking. And that clip hanging down would drive me nuts. And I'm pretty much a classic style wood stock kind of guy. In fairness though I haven't heard a thing about them till now, there were some good reviews on the mod 100 ATR, I think that's what it is called. Buying a rifle for me is pretty simple, I either like how it looks and handles or I don't. Doesn't matter how well it shoots to me normally because I'm gonna take it apart and mess with it anyway!

We are working with our Deer rifles now, currently working up 308 loads. Gun Season starts Saturday, so the MVP test will have to wait.
