Mossberg & Sons MVP PAT 16HB 556 Black 10RD - Blue/Black, 16.25" Barrel, 10+1 Rounds, Synthetic, Fixed Stock

This thing is tack driver. Under an inch with Lake City 55grain @ 100 yards. Who knows with better stuff. It’s a bit porky with a full mag and scope but for me it’s a bench gun. The fact that it will feed using any AR type magazine I have tried is a huge plus. As always Buds had the best price.

I have mixed views about the Mossberg MVP Patrol in 5.56 NATO for reasons that I will explain. I like the MVP and it's a good addition to my bolt action rifles. I think it's great that it uses AR mags. It's light weight and quick to come up on target. With a scope mounted on the picatinny rail, I didn't have any issues cycling the action. It was smooth enough and the trigger pull is also very light. Understand that I thoroughly cleaned the rifle right out of the box before heading to the range. Initially, all was going well and I was sighting in my scope. But after firing about 30 rounds at the range, I did run into a reliability issue with the trigger assembly and striker. When the trigger was pulled the striker would not release and the rifle would not fire. I re-cocked the bolt several times with the same result... no go. I packed up and headed home to field strip the rifle, thoroughly clean it again and test the striker. After spraying solvent into the trigger assembly and bolt and then adding lubricant, I exercised the bolt and trigger assembly a number of times. After some time the striker finally released. I can't say for sure what caused the problem and hopefully the malfunction will not repeat. But in the back of my mind is this reliability issue that will take several trips to the range to work through. I would like to rate the rifle with five stars but given the problem I experienced that just didn't seem appropriate. So, I've rated it four stars and would upgrade it in the future if there are no more repeat malfunctions. One last thing, Mossberg has to do something to improve the magazine release. It's short and sets in a recess forward of the magazine. It's hard to reach and does not easily release the magazine. A longer magazine release would be greatly appreciated.

one ragged hole at 50yards w/a vortex crossfire 2-7 w/223 after sighting in and PMCS hardball.....haven't tried anything more exotic.......definitely a keeper....

I purchased this Mossberg MVP 16HB 556 a few weeks ago. First of all it took Buds gun almost two weeks to process and ship this gun to a FFL gun shop in my area. Yesterday I took the gun out to shoot, after 10 rounds at 50 yards I was very impressed how well this gun shot and the action worked. Every think is working well so far. Dennis

First I want to thank My FFL Dealer Blue line they Called 20 mins after the gun arrived. Next BUD's , Thank you to the Sales department for answering my Questions. Great Job Very Friendly . Now the Gun, As soon as I got it I oiled her up and took her to the range . the action itself was smooth , I only put 20 rounds through it the Mag was great and fit will into the mag port . The trigger Shocked the Heck out of me . I think it Might have a 2 lbs pull if its that much. I have heard with this rifle you have to put 300 rounds through it , I think this one wont take that many . Sights are Nice , very clear . The one Problem I had is the extraction of the shells stuck but were easy to pulled out , I think this will work in time and use . Gun is small and light , The Rail was on tight . ( heard this was a problem in the Past. ) Over all The Gun is great . I'm very happy and Might order the Same one again for My wife or In a Higher Cal for Myself. .. Over all Im am very Happy with the Gun and the way I was Treated By BUDs . I give ya a 4 rating Only cause I don't think anything is Perfect . Thanks Again.

Be sure and check this rifle out before you walk out the store with it. When I got home , I noticed that it did not come with a flash supessor on it like the picture indicated. No big deal i guess but the picture showed one on it.. I don't know sho's fault that it was, but was not as shown. If you order one you might want to call Bud's and ask about this.
