Tell him to run away from the Mooseburg and buy ANYTHING else, anything at all. There are several better guns in that price range, Savage, Stevens, the new Ruger coming out, Tikka, Marlin X series, just damned near anything would be better.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

A guy from Alberta on www.predatormasters.com has been hammering the coyotes this winter with a Mossberg 4x4 in 25/06 and he likes his a lot for accuracy.

Of course, he is just a hunter using his tool at -20 degrees F to get it done, looks are likely not as important as function to that fellow.

A gun writer a while back also got good accuracy from the Mossberg in a 4-5 rifle comparison of economy centerfires...he liked its feel also, and called it the "biggest surprise" of the trial.

I haven't fired one, but I would be interested in doing so.
