Thread: Mossberg MVP

Got my patrol 223 on Friday and fired about 30 rounds through it. First impressions are that I like it. Very light and the fibre optic open sights are very quick and easy to pick up. Nice to fire, no issues working the bolt and cycling through. The mag doesn’t have the nice “click”when it seats so I give it a tap on the bottom (the rifle that is) to make sure. Anything up to 80-100m the open sights seem to work well, over that and the size of the sights start to blur out the whole target. I’ll hunt with it as is for goats and think it will work great, if I find I need longer range I’ll look at putting a scope on. Overall for what I bought it for it is perfect, the only thing I might look for is a barrel forward suppressor that can be used with the open sights, but not for a while.
