Between the two, which one would you go with?

[micromind]

Looking at two models of rifles.

was looking at Mossberg® MVP LC Light-Chassis Bolt-Action Rifle w/ Vortex Viper HS-T Riflescope or a Savage 10FCP McMillan, both are 308win.
Mossberg comes with scope. and can use a lot of different options that a AR uses. Also been hearing the mossberg is ready to shoot 1000 yards out of the box. I have always liked Savage though...


Thoughts?

Savage hands down. They aren't my style of rifle, but far better than a kiss berg and it has a top quality stock. Much better platform in my opinion.

Between those two savage

What's your budget? What's your total budget with scope?

What's your end goal? Belly benchrest, prs, just some good old long range plinking fun?

List off those, and there are a lot of knowledgeable folks on this forum to lend you a hand in getting started

Between these two choices I would go with the Savage.

I would go with the Savage. It has a nice stock to start with.

Savage proven performer vs the mossberg.

I don't think I can take Mossberg seriously, I remember when they made the 'Nighttrain' lol

I would go with the Savage...

Looks like i was thinking the same thing as you guys, I never owned a Mossberg before, I figured the savage as well. On some of the reviews i watched on the mossberg. it got pretty decent reviews....

 

[Collint2005]

Another one for savage

 

[OVERK1LL]

And yet another one for the Savage

 

[skypilot]

No comparison...go Savage.

 

[Rod B]

In my opinion the Savage is by far the better choice.

This. Mossberg may have upped their game, but hard to know without spending your cash.

 

[Blastattack]

Mossberg's rifles are crap. Do not ever buy one. I'm no fan of the Savage, but between the two, Savage wins hands down.

 

[Alpheus]

Damn, pretty unusual to see such a consensus on CGN....

Oh, and I vote Savage too.

 

[bsand]

I own one savage and one mossberg rifle, I won't be buying any more Mossberg rifles, but savages yep.

For a bit more cash up front you could buy a savage and put it into a MDT stock and sell the factory stock. That's all mossberg did. Just watch out for the throat length on the savage. They are known to be very short once in a while. To the point they won't close on factory ammo.
If you wanted you could get a Howa/Vangard or a Remington and do the same thing
