I have fired about 3-1/2 boxes thru my .308 so far and no problems yet. The gun is super accurate. I bought the Mossberg over other "budget" rifles because I personally wanted a wood stock because I think most plastic stocks look cheap and feel low quality.After some research I found the 100ATR has wood stocks on the short action .243/.308 models so I bought a .308 at wal-mart for $315. Overall I love the gun and even at $315 it is almost too nice looking, dare I say pretty, to go out and beat thru the woods. If I wanted a beater rifle I would have no reservations to get another ATR in the camo stock.
