ummm Mossberg makes Mossberg. can u be a little more specific on the type of rifle it was??
ATR 100, 4x4, plinkster, etc...
from what ive read the Mossberg ATR 100 was a clone of one of Howa's rifles, not sure which one tho.
my neighbor swears savage makes the bolt action for just about every gun madeand who ever buys itputs theirbrand name on it. but i find that REALLY hard to believe as ive never sean evidence of this anywere.

but if it helps i own a Mossberg ATR100 in .270 cal. i love it, shoots great and accurate, ive had it a little over a year now with no problems.
