m.t.hands

wondering if anybody had any hands on with the new mossberg 100 atr, my nephew is wanting a new rifle in 270, he has looked at the savage lin-up and he said the guy mentioned this gun, not sure of price, but wondered if any of you knew any info, btw his only other guns are a 835 and a ruger 10/22, he has hunted with my rifles in the past, but he wanted to know if i knew anything on the atr, mainly because he likes the 835 so much.

In my opinion I would not own one....just my personal peference though. I would own a Savage gun before a mossberg. A couple of my friends had bad experiences with them....but like i said, just my opinion. I owned a Western Field 30.06 (which is Mossberg) and I traded it off because it was too long of a gun for my stature. Some people like Mossbergs though...

thanks whitetaildeer87, i have never looked at a mossberg/western field? but my nephew had asked me what i thought about the rifle, like i mentioned he loves his 835, and he thinks its the best shotgun in the world, behind my sbe of course. anyway just looking for some insight, thanks again

If it's a model 1500, it's probably made by howa. Fine rifle for the price.

I just looked at it and it looks like a decent gun. They dont give you much information.

A rifle that's in the same price class as the Mossberg is the "new" Stevens 200, which is really a Savage 110 without an AccuTrigger.

Hey, I have the 100 atr in a 270 it shoots as good if not better than my browning a-bolt 270
good gun for the price would not get rid of it for nothing

Personally,I WOULD NOT get one,I like guns that are tried and true,Remingtons,Savages,Winchesters,Brownings,and the like,but thats me. I saw a new remington 700 called a 700SPS. Good gun,same thing as a 700 except the barrel is matte blued carbon steel,and It has a synthetic stock. A savage is a good choice too.Look at the package series or a 10FCM Sierra or 11F.

To put it bluntly the Mossberg 100 is crap.

A 12 year old could machine a better rifle. The action is incredibly rough, finish is poor, fit is poor. I wouldn't waste my money. I have said before I would rather have a Remington 710 than this rifle.

For about a hundred dollars more you can get the Remington 700 ($379), Howa 1500/ Weatherby vanguard ($388), Winchester 70, Charles Daly mauser ($349), Savage 110. Any of these will serve you much much better than the Mossberg rifle.

Mossberg makes a heck of a shotgun but stay away from this rifle.
