Lets look at the lineage of the rifle. They started life as the Raptor rifle company back in the 1990's. They were considered pure junk and the company quickly folded. Charter Arms bought the rights to produce the rifle for a few years and once again they were considered a joke. Charter Arms stopped making them and a few years later Mossberg buys the rights to produce the same rifle, they change the name and it is suddenly a quality rifle? I think not.

I'd put them in the same class as the Remingtoin 710 or 770.
Not everybody can afford a $3000.00 rifle with a $1500.00 scope. MOA is MOA no matter what shoots it.
I agree 100%. But there are a lot better options than the Mossberg selling for under $500 and I while the scopes I prefer are in the $400-$500 range, I'd not feel handicapped with a lot of $200 scopes
