I bought my stepson this same rifle combo from Academy Sports Saturday. We went out today & zeroed it & his best friends Savage Axis .308 Win. No comparison between the two rifles. The action & especially trigger on the ATR beats the Savage hands down. While the supplied scope is no Leupold or Swarovski, it is incredibly clear & precise for a package costing $313 out the door! I am tickled w/ it. Once we finally got it on paper at 50 yds, got consistent groups just under an inch w/ 90 & 100 gr bullets. I am convinced Mossberg is the best kept secret in the market. Have been equally impressed w/ a 930 JM Pro shotgun I've been running in 3 gun competition this year too. Get em while you can. Once the word gets out how solid these guns are, prices are bound to escalate!Now if Mossberg would just make an MVP in 7.62X39.
