Mossberg Expands MVP Patrol Series

O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc., is expanding its MVP Patrol bolt-action rifle series with a 300 AAC Blackout (300 BLK) offering. Joining the 5.56mm NATO/.223 Rem and 7.62mm NATO/.308 Win. chamberings, this new series of multi-purpose MVP rifles is a great choice for target shooting, hunting, home defense, and plinking—all with the convenience of AR-magazine compatibility.

“Innovation is at the core of MVP Patrol rifles,” says Linda Powell, Mossberg’s director of media relations. “Their patented designs accept and reliably feed from both AR15-style magazines (300 BLK/5.56mm) and M1A/M14 and AR10-style magazines (7.62mm).” Performance-driven features of this series include a 16.25-inch medium-bull button-rifled and threaded barrel with A2-style muzzle brake (protective thread cap included), a pillar-bedded stock, over-sized bolt handle, and Mossberg’s LBA Trigger System, which is user-adjustable from 3 to 7 pounds. Other features include a factory-mounted Picatinny rail as well as a front fiber-optic sight and a barrel-mounted, adjustable rear sight. The complete MVP Patrol package also has a textured, black synthetic stock, a fluted bolt, sling swivel studs, and a 10-round-capacity magazine.

“Designed to be a versatile, all-purpose platform, the MVP Patrol 300 BLK is a great choice at the range or in the field, as it delivers greater penetration, better terminal performance, and a wider choice of bullet types (.30 caliber) than the 5.56mm NATO/223 Rem,” Powell says. “Its superior ballistics make this intermediate rifle cartridge effective for mid- to large-sized game including deer, hogs, and black bear.”

Powell also tells SHOT Business that this new offering would be a worthwhile addition to any dealer’s inventory. “With the addition of the 300 BLK offering, the MVP Patrol Series now offers a well-rounded line-up of chamberings to meet the needs of hunters and shooters alike.” www.mossberg.com.
