What Small Cal. Rifle to get

[byf43]

What about the mossberg MVP in 223? Accepts ar15 mags, you're already loading for the caliber now and in sure you probably have some spare mags sitting around.

Great idea!!!
Maybe he can do a 'write up' (range report) to let us know if it's a good rifle. . . .or a great rifle. . . . or a POS.

I could be interested in one.

Me too, looks like an interesting concept. I mean, I like the versatility of being able to share mags with the ar-15 with the accuracy of a bolt action (hopefully ) I just picked up a 300 blk upper for my ar-15 and I'm kinda thinking with the all the hype and more manufacturers making ammo, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 300 blk in the same format at some point.

By the way, in regards to that, after reading up on it, I bet aftermarket will make a 300 blk barrel for this gun since it seems the barrel is easy to swap. It'd be nice to have a bolt gun to accept 300 blk with a silencer. Gun seems to be getting great reviews and they run around $500-$550 on the net. Not a bad deal for what you get. most reviews I read were sub moa.

Just put in a call to my guy in DE to see what he would charge me for the MVP. It looks pretty cool.
Gallery of Guns lists it for 668. I'm thinking I can get in in my hands for around 400.

That sounds like a decent price if you can get it for that. It peaks my interest too being a good range gun taking 5.56 ammo and as a good varmint gun.

It would cost me 475 OTD. ummm

Not too bad! Accurate bolt fun that shares ammo and mags with the AR-15 with the capability to hold 30 rounds in the mag, with the feasible possibility of a 300 blk barrel swap in the future, seems like a decent rifle to me.
