Are you talking about the new Rifel, The ATR100 bolt rifle from mossberg or one of the older ones. They have made about 4 doxen different rifles and .22's
Anyway the ATR100 bolt rifle whcih is new recieved a dismal review on the outdoor life website. The newest one is an upgrade so it may be better. Good price. But I would probably go with the stevens 200 or remington 710

Well, I havent heard anything good about them either but I have never shot one. Just get a stevens model 200 for about 260.00 it is sweet! As well, they just made some substantial changes to the 710 rem so it may be better than the bad rap it has had. The reciever isno longer made by rubbermaid, but is now made from steel. I got a rem700 adl in 30-06 for 319.00. hold out for a bargain on a good rifle. EJ

can't say anything about mossberg rifles but I own a remington 710 30-06 and it shoots tight groups and is very reasonably priced for what u get.

I have an old Mossy 640KA "Chuckster" in .22 mag and it is a very fine rifle - a real tight shooter. Crows around here absolutely hate it.

The NEW remington 710 is pretty good. It no longer has the plastic insert on the action whcih made cycling of the bolt feel sticky or sluggish. I think this is the factor that disturbed most shooter. Now the entire action is all steel and more traditional. Reports are favorable, much more so than on the Mossberg. However, the stevens 200 is probably the best deal out there in a new rifle.
Also check out a mauser rifle made by Charles Daly. they are built on the Czech VZ24 mauser action and I believe the field model is about 300 bucks
