Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington 783 vs Mossberg Patriot vs Ruger American

Only budget rifles I've tried out are the Savage Axis(.270) and the Mossberg ATR(7-08)...They were both good shooters(the Savage was a little better, but not enough to make a difference deer hunting). Wife of one of my buddies won the Mossberg in a drawing a few years ago and puts venison in the freezer every year with it.

You can get the Mossberg ATR in Walnut for about the same price as long as you don't mind a short action, no flies on the .308...just find one of the blind mag versions, much better shaped stock IMO...
