Thread: What is the rifle that has surprised you the most

Mine would have to be my mossberg 223. It was in a local gun shop cheap. It looked the part with its heavy fluted barrel and spiral cut bolt has a grey laminate stock takes ar mags which seems to give some a hard on not me tho. So after reading all the bad reviews I thought why not. Bought it home threw a scope on it and went and tested it out. Put some factory ppu through it and couldnt see what the complaints were about. Was going to try handloading for it but came across some fmj american eagle i think it is for cheap as, pulled the fmjs and reseated some 55gn soft points, the thing shoots better than any other 223s Ive owned. Then went and got it threaded and fitted a dpt. Cant really fault the thing....
