It looks pretty well outfitted but maybe I am wrong, a bit overpriced? It seems to me there are other brands out there that you get more for less money than that one.

Not when you look at what you're getting, no. For example, take the MMR Hunter. You're getting a quality AR with a free-floating 20" barrel and camo for well under $1,000. It's extremely competitive with the Stags and DPMSs of the world. Having said all that, I'll hold back my excitement until I see someone shoot it and actually hold one in my hand. Also, I think Mossberg is extremely underrated as a rifle maker. The 4X4 rifles are excellent, quality, and accurate shooters that don't cost more than a mortgage. |

Check out the new issue of Guns & Ammo. They wrote an article on the new MMRs and gave it glowing reviews! Some of the quotes... Over three days of targeting, ground squirrel shooting and coyote calling, our group of eight shooters fire more than 5,000 rounds of .223 Remington ammunition in 13 different varieties from 11 different manufacturers, ranging in bullet weights from 35-grain lead-free loads to 62-grain match loads. In all that shooting, over three days, morning and afternoon long, there was not a single malfunction of any kind. The guns' performance was made even more impressive by the fact that it was dry, dusty and windy in the ground squirrel fields, so that by 2PM or so, your eyes were sticky and you could feel grit grinding between your back teeth.
We gave the MMRs zero maintenance. This means we did not clean them or lube them at all for the entire duration, shooting them straight out of the box."I can be a pretty harsh critic of today's new plethora of AR-platform rifles. I've used ARs for a long time, I know what they're capable of, and I know how easy it is for a company to turn out a slipshod, fast-to-market product. The Mossberg MMRs are anything but.
I like these guns. I'm an AR guy, and I'm gonna own one.I don't know about you, but that's good enough for me.  |
