    Unless set on the 24" fluted barrel I'd recommend the MVP LC, the varmint has a plastic magwell insert that causes some feeding issues with various mags. I have the 5.56 varmint and changed it over to a Mdt chassis and mags fit way better, although haven't made it to the range to test function.

    I have the 5.56 version already as I can share ammo and mags with my AR and T97.
    I'd like to have the 7.62 version to share ammo and mags with my M305.

    I have the MVP Varmint as well and shoots great for a medium/low cost rifle but don't care too much for the sloppy fit in the plastic magwell either. I've heard that there are after market fixes for this but have yet to get a response from Mossburg or any of the Canadian dealers. I quite like the stock for prone shooting.

    Has anyone heard of or know of a fix ( or where) for the poor magwell?

    I haven't seen an actual fix but i run at-15 pistol mags and put a few strips of gun tape on the rear edge of the mags and it had solved the issue.

    Is the magwell an insert? If so just have one fabricated out of steel and reinsert

    I've seen the web site. They look great but as you said, can't get them here.
