I put about 500 rounds through my MVP this year. Really like it, shoots well. Here's some groups I've shot.

^^^ At what range were those groups shot at? Hopefully, more than 200 yds. No offence, but I don't see where you could claim that it "shoots well".
This is an excellent idea!To get higher capacity mags for this rifle, all a Mossberg would have to do is cut a small key-way into the side of the mag well. Then a mag producer, who makes plastic mags, would just have to epoxy a small key tab on the side of their mag and mark the package for "Bolt Action Only". Call it the "MVP Canadian". Standard AR mags would still fit into the MVP but the special mags would not fit into any semi-auto rifle. It comes down to demand, I guess, but it's not a hard or expensive thing to do. It could even be done as a retro-fit, as long as the RCMP signed off on the modified magazines, which I can't see them not doing for any legal reason.
Also the 7.62 version of these is coming out, Takes M-14 and AR10 mags which is interesting, but also ships with its own 10 round mag. If the 10 round mag is proprietory to the MVP and also fits the M14, AR10 or both, the mags alone will sell like hotcakes!
Maybe. We'll have to take a look at the magazine when it comes out. The 7.62 MVP definitely functions with both types of magazines with no modification, so it is certainly possible that its magazines could also work the other way.
There is some precendent for this. Once upon a time there were mags that functioned in both Mini 14s and ARs.
