Has anyone had the chance to look at one of the new mossberg rifles? If so what are your opinions of it?

The June/July issue of OUTDOOR LIFE has a "sporting gear " test and the Mossberg ATR was appraised. It got poor marks in almost every catagory: Fit / finish / accuracy / trigger...etc. Pretty much said that it needs some tlc before Mossberg should release it to the shooting public.
Stroll to page 116-117 for the review. BT53

I sure wish Mossberg was not a sponsor of Buck McNeely... Wrote them a letter of complaint about Buck's TV show where The idiot is twirling a Mossberg shotgun muzzle on the concrete while talking to the camera. He has his palm on the toe and is swinging said pump gun pretty fast.
Not exactly what I want to have to explain to a kid after he sees something like that.
Within a month Buck was busted for same-day airborne hunting of caribou here in AK. A second letter to Mossberg got the same lack of response. I will not buy or deal in any Mossberg because of their attention to such things.

There was one a while back in the classified on another board. The Mossberg ATR rifle, incl. scope and climbing tree stand sold for $200, total.
Judging by the OUTDOOR LIFE test/review though, I hope whoever bought it is at least happy with their new tree stand.
