I bought a mossberg mvp 223 with a 24 inch barrel last week and took it out culling. Put 1770 rounds through it in 4 days. after about 1000 rounds the harshness of the bolt's action starts to polish up a bit and gets a bit smoother. I have 2 polymags for it which feed nicely. The factory steel mags are a bit harsh feeding even though they appear to be of acceptable quality. The staggered round mags (AR style) are easy to load and can be used with a mag charger if needed. The rifle shoots like a laser with my 3-12 x 50 Zeiss Duralyt on top. Has a threaded barrel for no reason in Oz because silencers are not permitted. The butt pad is totally horrible and will be changed tomorrow for something more rounded, problem solved. My only real gripe is with the bolt which really can be overcome with the technique of closing the bolt with your thumb at the base of the bolt handle before latching the bolt normally. Its a great thrasher otherwise. 8/10.
It's not banned in Queensland but you just can't have one!
