As the title suggests looking at a Mossberg MVP Scout in 308 for hunting purposes as delta mike have a great deal on at the moment. Thoughts on the rifle?

Couldn't pay me to take one.
Never heard many good things about them.
Ive got one in 223. Best 223 Ive owned but ill be selling it as no matter how many Ive owned 223 just does nothing for me. Should of kept my 788 222
Strange since 223 does everything 222 does and more.Quote:

.223 was the meat hunting era caliber 'cos it was simply better. You old NZFS guys are so last year.
And the 788 are clunky and heavy. Their bolt handles break. And they dont even have chequering....
and love it wont change me-- 222 all the way -- even our goat hunters here in the Naki when I came in 2010 they were all .222 mainly all using A2 SakoQuote:

You are just too perceptive. :)Quote:

Hi @Usio1946 /John, welcome to the forum.
Will you be coming out from New York to use it? You might be better asking if you can hire a rifle somewhere? Or apply for a permit to bring yours with you. If you were still looking to buy new, a Howa is similar money but much better quality.
Just an FYI, new members are encouraged to write up a bit of an intro on the intro page. Admin are having a tough time with scammers at the moment, so it helps if you can tell us about about yourself and your upcoming hunting trip to NZ.
Cheers.
mossberg is trash.
damn the deer and goats I shot with my 788 didn't mention anything about the checkering
Just a silly question . Why would someone want to buy a rifle at $nz1500 , when they could buy it at $us500 ????????????.:burnt:Quote:

That's it then. You are a magnet for unsophistication.Quote:

I can laugh along with your over reaction to tongue in cheek humour-the tariff bit. The rest I believe to be true.
Every time I shoot mine, the consistent accuracy makes me not notice the weight and the clunkyness, but if I do notice, it just gives it character. The bolt hasn't broken on mine (he writes, then goes to urgently touch some un-chequered wood).Quote:
