Hey fellas, new guy hear just got a new rifle & it is the 1st Mossberg I have ever owned (I have no problem admitting I'm a Ruger fan) & was pretty much set on the Ruger American but...
When I went to order the rifle from our local shop the fella says take a look at this Mossberg, he had just gotten one in in 25-06 & said he could do much better on the price he had quoted for the Ruger. After comparing the two side by side the wood stock had pretty much hooked me & the price diff was a bonus so I ordered the Mossberg. The only thing that gave me pause was when he was placing the order he told me the Brand name of the scope was not available & sure enough when it came in there is nothing on the scope but the 3x9x40 marking but it looks pretty clear so we will see how it does, was hoping for the Vortex & who knows the scope on there might very well be made by them but they sure weren't proud enough to put their name on it lol.
Anyway I got 3 different brands of the 130 gr ammo he had & plan on sighting it in sometime this week & try to figure out which brand of ammo it likes. Hopefully I'll become as much a fan of Mossberg as I am of Ruger.
