I was taking a serious look at them before I got my Remington 700P LTR. I have to admit the Mossberg MVP Patrol's would make a great truck, or rifle to have on hand while backpacking and or camping for defense against 4-legged critters.
I like it for the most part. I will say the factory finish is a bit cheap... and I dont care much, it shoots well and is well priced. The mag release is a bit awkward. I have no idea what possessed them to put rails on the sides, tacticool I guess.
I have a MVP Scout, haven't shot it yet. Came with a Vortex scope and a 10 round pmag. Looks pretty nice, mostly got it because I wanted a short scout rifle for hunting
I've been watching them for a while. Came close to ordering one several times, but talked myself out of it each time. Being an adult and paying bills is SO overrated!
