Looking for a cheap .308. Just for range giggles, defense, and a cheap prep. Can't hunt with it here.
Anyone have experience with the Mossberg Patriot rifles? Are they any good? I'm seeing them for $400ish online, and that seems pretty cheap for a U.S. rifle.
I'm also seeing the Mossberg MVPs for a few bucks more, and they can accept AR-10 mags, which is a really nice bonus. Are the MVPs the same action as the Patriots? For that matter, does Mossberg make a decent bolt action at all?
The Savage Arms Hog Hunter in .308 is $500 ish, which is tempting (I know from past experience that Savage does good work), but it would be nice to save the hundred bucks.
Thoughts? Anything else, or better, in this sub $500 arena?
