I think Mossberg really tried to build a rifle that was just a step ahead of the rest of the budget rifles with the Patriot,but they also are trying to sell them a little higher,and when someone is looking for a budget rifle they usualy want to spend as little as they can.Savage Axis,and Ruger American are both gleaning off their companys well earned reputation for good rifles,and Mossberg is still trying to live down the black mark the ATR gave them..I would buy one used in a heartbeat if priced right .If you can get one for $239 I would say it's a steal,I think they are probably pretty decent.Mossberg would have been a lot better off if they would have sold their junk like the ATR,and Plinkster under some other name.
