Picked up this little rifle today, Mossberg MVP 20" fluted barrel, put a Nikon P223 3-9x40 on it. Got it sighted in today with 5 rounds, first 5 shot group was just under an inch at 100 yards. I didn't even try anything else, 69grn Sierra HPBT over 24 grns of IMR 4895, averaged 2853 over my chrono. Good enough for now, I am planning on shooting it at the March 23 500 yard Appleseed. Will be plenty accurate for that. Rifle has a nice trigger out of the box but I admittedly am not a trigger aficionado, I like mil spec triggers. The bolt is a little clunky, but I had already read that. It is not something that is real bad and it may smooth out a little with some dry fire and range time.
This a group after I moved the scope just a bit forward
These are shooting with just a sling no rest prone.
