Anybody have any experience with a Mossberg MVP?

I too am interested in them. I've seen QC problems, and they apparently are not fond of polymer mags, but that experience is limited to you-tube vids. So I'm not sure if that's just a couple of guns, or a consistent problem.

 

oh my god, I just saw one today at the LGS, I want one.

and the MVP takes AR mags as a bonus!

only $500 new, hmmmm.....

 

This is the kind of rifle I have been waiting for, heavy BBL BA in .223, not a fan of black rifles, I do like very much that the ammo/magazine capacity is there if needed, very nice indeed, and I see nothing but good info on the web about it's accuracy, I think I would prefer the 24" bbl to the 16"", same twist, but shouldn't the longer bbl offer better accuracy? or it that where your reloading skills come in to play?

 

24" is a bit long for my tastes in something like this but you can achieve something like 95% of the velocity with the 16" and for certain the same accuracy.

I like it because of the magazine ability and it's 'carbine' length, a great lookin' gun to carry in the field. I thought it was Ruger's new scout carbine at first but the 10rd AR mag gave it away. Wouldn't mind having the ruger either in .308, same idea but bigger boom.

I prefer gas guns in many cases as I love the firepower and fast follow up shots but a 10-30rd bolt gun makes me pretty happy too!

 

I don't know exactly what the MVP is but about 4 years ago I was looking for a .308 rifle and settled on a Mossberg. The next day. I slapped a scope on it and headed out to the range to zero it. On the 5th shot the bolt came apart, the extractor and the "ring" on the end of the bolt face broke. I took the rifle back to my LGS and he sent it back to Mossberg. About two weeks later the rifle was back so I slapped the scope back on it and headed back to the range. This time it made it to the 7th shot and the same thing happened. I took it back to my LGS and he gave me ful purchase amount in store credit. They have great shotguns and I have a 60 years old Mossberg .22 but never again will I own a center fire rifle from them.

 

hmmm... I tend to have the same feeling, I've always loved Mossberg's shotguns (and they're certainly not the best quality) but wondered if their other stuff was up to par also.

I know everyone makes a bad gun now and again but twice in a row falling apart? not good

thanks for the fair warning and your experience.
