I do not have experience with a Mossberg, but I love the Ruger American 7mm-08 I bought last year. It is a very quality, accurate rifle for the money. I would not hesitate to purchase another one, and I will probably end up buying another one at some point. I wish they produced it in a .25-06. If they did, I would buy one today.
Ruger made a non-cataloged run of American Rifle Predators in 25-06 a couple of years ago, the only long actions Predators that I'm aware of.
