bubbasks Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Finally had the cash and was in a good spot to get the rifle ive wanted to get since I first shot its sibling. The Mossberg mvp308. The 223 is a consistent sub moa rifle with my rolls so I hope its brother shoots as good. And all my 308 mags fit perfect. Here it is till I get behind the trigger this weekend. scope fits perfect 10 rd and the "blocked" 10 rd Edited September 23, 2014 by bubbasks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I shot that .223 MVP and confirm the sub 1/2 MOA. If the .308 shoots anywhere near as good, that will be one sweet rig!!! Very, VERY, tempted to grab a "Patrol MVP". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to mention the sub half with my 53gr vmax loads but figured I didnt feel like being called out lol. Best groups that happen somewhat often are in the .4 range.

Robocop1051 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 That .223 popped so light, you can actually watch the little .22 cal holes show up in your target. If you put your cross hairs on the target, that's where the holes go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I was gonna say, that sure don't look like a NorCal flag. Sweet rifle, congrats on the new bundle of joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I love the MVP rifles. I'd like to go after the 16" threaded barrel 300BLK version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Nice pair ! I have been also looking at the MVP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 And now you've got me lusting too. Do they offer a lightweight .223 tapered barrel that uses AR magazines? Maybe with a birdcage on the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbasks Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I believe they all have that medbull barrel but have several different options on barrels and stocks. They have the 16.25 and 18.5 are offered in threaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbasks Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I measured the barrels on both last night and 5.56 was .745 and the .308 was .765 both at the crown. So they arent too heavy of a barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I just checked with one of our wholesalers and can get the 5.56 MVP Patrol with flash suppressor and compact 3-9x32 illuminated retical scope for $593. Is that scope worth a damn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Haven't shot the factory-offered scope, so I don't know. Got my MVP 5.56 with no optics, and it's only had the 3-9x40 Nikon BDC on it, and I permanently switch that out to the 3x-fixed Nikon BDC Carbine scope.

Microgunner Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I think I'd rather buy a known optic with QD mount than invest in what is probably a questionable scope. Now I think I'll talk myself into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbasks Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Same I got without optic. I put the p223 on mine and its dead on with the reticle. Put a Bushnell elite on the 308 till I have the cash for the m308 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 5.56 MVP running regular Federal M193, 55gr FMJ ammo, 100 yards, right after zero of the BDC Carbine scope. It was zero'd at 50 (to coincide with a 200 zero), and these are the first 5 shots at 100 with it. With the 1:9 twist on the barrel, it does great with the lighter ammo out there.
