Is the Mossburg rifle line any good? Or are they sub par?Found the 101ATR for under $300 and was wondering.

bigpapa,I have a ATR100 in 270.It shoots right around 1'' at 100yds.Not a bad gun for under 300.00 dollars.I have shot 3 deer this year with mine,all 1 shot deals.

I don't own 1.. but I worked in a gun shop for a while and there a very good gun for the money. People use to be scared to buy them and when they did.. they would come back and say.. that's a great gun for the price. Just my 2 cents.. hope you find what your looking for.

I hog hunt with a guy who is using that Mossberg rifle in a .223. He is very pleased with it. He won't shut up about how much he loves it. I saw one at Wal-Mart in synthetic stock in several different calibers. It was around $240. At that price, I thought about picking one up for fun!

I had one in .270, it shot very good, and was a good gun, but, I hate internal box magazines.[:@]

guys I am getting one for christmas but I have a question, are the sling studs normal? they dont look right in pictures or they dont swivel or something. Input would be appreciated...

The sling studs, are actually not studs at all, they are holes cut into the stock, that a sling swivel fits through.

In all honesty, I wasn't too impressed with the Mossberg, sure, its a good gun for the budget minded hunter/shooter, but it wasn't that great of a gun, Id rather have a Savage or a HOWA.
