Mossberg Patriot Predator (450 BM) opinions?

[JBradley500]

Does anyone have experience with one of these rifles? Pros, cons, issues? There is no where near the number of reviews or opinions of them as the Ruger American Ranch. Specifically I like the thoughts the model below with open sights. Thanks.

My only experience with these is playing around with them at gun shows. I could never personally buy one for the same reason I won't buy a Savage. I can't stand the feel of that Glock-ish trigger dingus. For whatever reason I don't mind it on a pistol but can't stand it on a rifle. Probably because in a pistol it's polymer vs metal in a rifle. Just drives me nuts. Generally they're well reviewed & if you got a lemon, Mossberg has excellent CS.

I like the barreled action but the factory stock, poly mag well insert , and mags are pretty cheap. The bedding situation in the stock was not to my liking at the rear of the mag well.
