Hi!

I saw this rifle and I want to know if somebody have one and can tell me something about them.

Thanks
 
They are a good, basic rifle that is something of a Savage 110, and Howa 1500 hybrid. The trigger group and bolt are clearly based on the Howa while the receiver and barrel locking are from the Savage. Reports are that they are accurate and durable.

Thanks Ash

In your opinion,is that rifle better than the Savage 110? In Spain they have the same price and that´s why I dont know wich one to take.

Thanks for all again
 
I have a 30-06 Mossberg and am very happy with it. The synthetic stock is a lot less flexable than the basic Savage models. The Savage does have lots of aftermarket upgrades available and the Mossberg currently doesn't. The Mossberg ATR doesn't have a removeable magazine either. Not sure if the savage does. The Mossberg seems to have a medium Barrel, seemed a bit beefier to me. Both rifles are button rifled. The Savage has an adjustable trigger...not sure if I could tweak my Mossbergs or not? Overall both are better guns for the money than some costing much more.
 
Well, I would probably go with the Savage if it were me. I am a tremendous Mossberg fan, I own three 800 bolt actions and three 810 bolt actions (made in the 60's and 70's). I really like the 100ATR, but, I prefer the Savage.

Of course, if you like the way the Mossberg feels, then get it. It is a good rifle.

I'd choose the Savage rifle over the Mossberg.

While neither are top line bolt actions, the Savage has a great tradition of accuracy.
 
I have studied them and read many articles on them, and they are really quite the innovative rifle. it was origionally made my I wanna say Renegade arms(or someithing like that) up in Conn. I say one of these in 30.06 recently. the company was basically bought up by Mossy, because they watned their machinery, and design specs for this rifle. this was back in the 90's. Mossy suceeded , and then did a few upgrades to it. It is very closely built upon the howa rifle, so that is nice, it has built in swivel studs on the stock, another plus, it also has a fully free floated bbl, with a kind of built in pillar bed job on the stock. two very good plusses. it has a step down muzzle crown, short bolt throw, and nice lock up features, with the lugs, in the receiver, and also has nice raceways.
they also have a very nice recoil pad, and if you get the kids model, you can build up your recoil pad, long, and thick , and spongey huge, because you can buy the recoil extensions with inserts.. Accuracy with these rifles , that I have read about , and shot myself, all seem to be easily capable of 2 moa, as with just a fair scope, and using bags for rests, so chances are the rifle will shoot better than your capabilities. I myself would not hesitate, the next time I a feeling froggy about a new 30.06, to pick up one.
