Thinking about getting one of these in 7mm-08 for a backup/loner. Already have another 7mm-08. Anyone have personal experience with this rifle?

I already have 2 7MM-08 So I bought this rifle in the Mossberg Patriot Walnut .308 win. vortex combo. it took me a few loads to get it right, but I don't regret buying this rifle. most days it will shoot 1" MOA

Ok. Most reviews have been good. Thinking about the one with the cerokote finish. I like the looks of them better than the axis.

I don't know if Mossberg is using the same barrels as they installed in their ATR rifles but I had an ATR in 270win that wouldn't shoot accurately until I hand lapped the bore. After lapping it shot an honest, all day, any day 1 MOA with my handload developed for this gun. I sold it because the trigger was horrible but a couple months later Timney introduced a trigger for that rifle. Roll Eyes
