Mossberg MVP

>>33696270
not OP but also curious.

You are better off with Ruger's scout if you want something like an MVP, imo.

None of Mossberg's rifles are particularly impressive.

>>33696479
Yeah, reading more and more that is the conclusion I am coming to. Even the forum devoted to the rifle has many threads high lighting serious, send-back problems.

>>33696479
This. The mvps are trash.

>>33696270
how about a savage hog hunter?

>>33696270
I own one in .223, it's an alright gun I guess, nothing impressive about it and generally all around kind of meh.

I own one, with the laminate wood stock in .308.

Shot my first deer with it.

Not a bad rifle. Good mag options. I'd recommend trying to get one with iron sights.

Had a weird thing happen with mine though. The action came loose in the stock but the screw was as tight as it could go. Still wobbled. I figure the wood shrunk or warped. I was hunting a lot of wet weather. Solved the problem by shaving a few mm off the screw to tighten it up.

Works fine now, but not something you should have to do to 'fix' a brand new gun.

I like it okay. Mileage may vary. If I hadn't taken my first deer with it I probably would have sold it by now.

Pic related. Deer after meeting a 150gn Hornady SST loaded hot from said rifle.

why not a lever gun as a trail rifle?

>>33696984
Mine actually broke within a few months of having it, the whole bolt got stuck after firing a round, and according to the gunsmith the extractor exploded and fucked up a bunch of stuff in there.

Savage also makes a Scout rifle, but it's more expensive than the Hog Hunter

>>33697096
As a former Savage scout owner... Just buy the hog hunter. Unless you have no intent to scope it.

>>33697115
don't the Hog Hunters have the forward mount holes already drilled and tapped anyway?

is there a way to retrofit a mag system to a Hog Hunter

>>33696270

I got one (patrol) for the price point and size. pretty good but I haven't checked it's accuracy by the numbers. I just know it shoots straight. otherwise it's a solid gun and I really like the medium bull barrel. I haven't had any problems, except it won't take vintage a10 mags, NBD to me.

they've switched to the full synthetic stocks to lighten the load, which I like.

ruger guarantees 1MOA accuracy, but they don't take AR/M1A/A10 mags.

I've never heard of accuracy complaints from the MVP, only little QC things here and there.

6 of 1, yada yada.

Mossberg makes good shotguns, that's about it

That's what I am saying; if you plan to use irons only then the scout is fine. But if you want to scope it you either have to use a eer scope or give up the rear peep. Better off with hog hunter irons

Go with the savage hog hunter
