I think my biggest problem with Mossberg is their lying. I sent mine in for a failure to fire trigger issue 2 years ago. They sent it back saying they had changed the trigger and safety button and it passed every test. I got it back, MVP LR in .308 by the way, doing exactly what I had sent it in for. Contacted Mossberg they said they were preparing to do a trigger redesign but didn't have any of the new triggers in yet. Two years later I got tired of the rifle sitting in my safe contacted Mossberg and this time was told...Lie 1. They never had a trigger problem. Lie 2. They didn't change any parts on my rifle when it sent it in. It passed all tests and was returned. And the most ridiculous statement they made... I "must be pulling sideways on the trigger and that's why it's failing to fire". "The trigger has that characteristic and many people have that problem". (Funny they didn't mention that 2 years earlier when they said they changed it and were redesigning a new one.) Their most helpful recommendation was to try a drop in after-market trigger to see if that fixes the problem (you know, the problem they weren't having). The real irony is Mossberg is suing 12 drop in trigger companies over trigger patent infringement rights but they're telling me to try one from a company they're suing. Mossberg, if your going to tell me after 45 years of shooting that I don't know how to pull a trigger, do it when I send the rifle in for the first time. Don't wait 2-1/2 years during my third contact with you. And maybe it's just me but if a number of people are having the same inability to "pull the trigger correctly" then maybe the problem really is yours and not ours. If it only works a certain way.....IT DOESN"T WORK!
stampeed Valkyrie It sounded just like Mossberg to say you should be getting 1 inch groups at 100 yards, have you send it in, do nothing and then respond...Good morning Robert, I was able to have the service mount a scope, test fire the gun again, and myself and the engineering department have reviewed the target. The rifle was tested with 5.56 55 grain rounds and the results produced very good grouping. With 1" groupings at 50 yards you would logically expect 2" grouping at 100 yards, but 5.56 ammunition is typically not very accurate ammunition and without the engineering department knowing the exact specifications of the ammunition you were using it would be hard to say the expected accuracy with these individual brands and grains. (Wouldn't you expect them to use whatever ammo they had too, to get the 1 inch group at 100 yards they promised. Not send it back and blame the ammo? Amazing they're still in business).
