ksbowhntr77 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Any of you guys own a newer Mossberg .243? How do you like it? And have you ever special ordered a rifle from Wal-Mart? Thought about a Mossberg .243 and yes from Wal-Mart, they are selling for around $288. Input please. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: Suggestions/Opinions on Mossberg .243??? I havent heard good things about they Mossberg Rifles. I love their shotguns but im afraid the rifles lack a little (or so ive heard). Yes I have special ordered rifles through them and with little troubles. IMHO I would save the extra money and get something more along the lines of a savage. In all honesty im sure the mossberg rifle will get the job done but you can probably pick up a good used rifle in a pawn shop for just a fuzz more.

johnf Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: Mossberg .243??? I've heard really bad things about the Mossgerg ATR 100 from people who don't own them. I've talked with a few people own them and they have been very pleased. One guy had one in 270 and was at the sporting goods counter ordering a 243, 30-06 and another 270 for family. He said the one he had shot about 1moa, had a very good trigger, was reliable and he didn't have to worry about scratching the finish like he did on his wetherby. From what I've heard, people that own them say they are a very good no frills utility gun, with good accuracy and performance for a very low price. If you want one that's even more accurate for a lower price look at the NEF guns. I've got 2 (one in 243) that shoots sub moa with winchester superX and rem core-lokd.

ksbowhntr77 Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: Mossberg .243??? Thanks for the input so far guys, I'm going to put my hands on an 100 ATR of the .270 variety later this week to even see if I like the feel of the gun. We'll see, sounds painless to order one in.

Guest ronin Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Suggestions/Opinions on Mossberg .243??? Gun Test Mag wrote a decent article on the ATR a couple of months ago. I would try to get a copy or read it on line. If I remember correctly, the conclusions were decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
