Mossberg MVP patrol in .308, an honest review.

This is the patrol with the 16.25 inch barrel and chunky Wood stock. It is an older model. For what it has accomplished as a bolt gun, being able to feed reliably from Pmags, it is brilliant. #m1 #308 #Mossberg

The main feature of this is the ar15 and ar10 magazine compatibility. If u already have an ar and want a bolt action you can use the same mags and ammo. The only thing I don't like is the shorter barrel. I wish it was at least 20-22inches

@@Darthdoodoo they make them or at least they did make them in different barrel lengths. I bought this one because I saw it on the shelf at the shop, handled it, and yes, the magazine compatibility was definitely a selling point for me. The P mags by far and away offered the smoothest cycling and reliability of all I have tried

I've got a Patrol as well, synthetic stock, got a 3x9 Vortex Viper scope on it, added a bipod and it's a freaking fantastic rifle!
I typically fire cheap Chinese surplus ammo through it (steel case and not brass) and I find that it absolutely HATES it, feeding issues etc... but when I put 165 Federal and 168 Federal Match Grade ammo, it's freaking bang on.
I will say that even with the issues the Chinese ammo gives (not all the time) it can be pretty accurate as well.

308 or 762?

[@ProfessorSharktooth]

7.62

Bummer on the accuracy using lighter more appropriate bullets for the .308/7.62.

@@raywells2858 that’s kind of how the 1 in 10 twist goes… The nice thing is it can stable bullets over 200 grains but really no one fires those.
