Mossberg MVP Long Range 5.56 NATO Matte Blued Rifle

A: its smaller than a short action " Mossberg's new MVP is a bolt-action rifle sized specifically for the .223. Essentially Mossberg shrunk the action it uses on its 4x4 rifle to fit the .223; the ejection port opening measures a scant 2.16 inches." see review https://www.americanhunter.org/articles/2012/5/30/the-mossberg-mvp/

A: Gary, thanks for the follow up and sharing this information. 95% or retailers list this as a "Synthetic" Stock. This will help other Community members. Cheers!

A: Every review I've ever read on this rifle references the nice, synthetic, stock. Guess we can now disregard every gun review we read. Obviously they never contacted Mossberg and asked. Typical. A lie will travel a million miles, and the truth dies before it leaves the gate.

A: Thanks for the info

A: Yes, Buds' titles are not always 100% accurate so I prefer to check the manufacturer catalog which in this case lists this model as: 5.56mm NATO/223 REM . Here's that catalog page: https://www.mossberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/MOSSBERG--_MVP--_LR_RIFLES.pdf

A: Lithideth - it is perfectly acceptable to use 5.56 ammo in this rifle, according to the Mossberg web site. The .223 is, generally, a bit less expensive than 5.56.

A: Lithideth, yes. The Barrel is Stamped 5.56NATO so .223 Ammunition can be safely fired.
