A little background on this thread.... I saw an MVP at a local gun shop and I'm intrigued by its use of AR-15 magazines. I currently have a Ruger Mini 14 for use when I'm out in the country for shooting varmints, casual plinking, etc. I have AR-15's (plural) and only one Mini 14. So, I'm wondering what you guys think of trading my Mini-14 in for a Mossberg MVP.
On the pro side: I wouldn't have to sort out the different magazines for .223, I like the accuracy of a bolt gun, and the Mini 14 was never very good with a scope (although it shot well with irons).
On the con side: You usually lose money on trades. The MVP has no iron sights. Semi auto is faster for follow-up shots.
So, people of THR, what do you think? I'm half in half out on this idea.
