I recently got a brand new Mossberg MVP Predator in a trade deal. She was so new the bolt hadn’t been in the rifle yet.
Mounted a scope I had on the bench and headed off to the range.
Shot 10 rds at 25 yds just to christen the barrel and make sure I was on paper. Ran a rod thru the bbl and set up for 100 yards.
Target is one inch orange dot on white background. First two rds hit the dot then all went to hell in a hand basket. Next four shots were a little high and spreading, fifth was a flyer wide left. All shots had 50-60 seconds between shot and barrel only rose 42 degrees from 1st to last shot.
After a fifteen minute cool down and bore swab I ran five more with 1 minute between shots. Looked like a shot gun blast!
Packed her up and went home.
I was very disappointed in this rifle because even if it’s under $700 MSRP it should have performed better.
