lation; only being exposed to the familiar
with Mossberg shotguns. Mossberg has
established a solid place in the American
gun psyche in terms of American-made
quality and customer service. Many are
having epiphanies due to recent introductions
such as the MVP LC (Light
Chassis) .308 bolt action rifle catching
their eye. This rifle model indicates a
continuing focus on product expansion
at Mossberg.
Though originally named after its
quarry, the Mossberg Varmint Predator
(MVP) rifle line of rifles has now
expanded rapidly to include both hunting
and tactical models with many that
are equally at home in the field or on
the range. The MVP LC rifle expands
on earlier Mossberg MVP series rifles
such as the Varmint, Patrol, Scout, and
LR (Long Range) with its closest cousins
being the Mossberg Patrol and LR
rifles. The Mossberg MVP Patrol and
now the LC is often overlooked when
tactical rifles are discussed. The MVP
Patrol is the center of Mossberg’s law
enforcement series. It is available from
the factory in various calibers with
many notable features including different
stock types, recessed target crown,
Picatinny rail over receiver, and Mossberg’s
industry leading LBA (Lightning
Bolt Action) adjustable trigger. One thing
that sets apart the MVP Patrol series of
rifles, including the LC, functionally and
aesthetically, is the ability to accept AR-
15/AR-10 type magazines.
Misconstrued prejudices abound
when it comes to Mossberg rifles stem-
LEFT: No one should consider themselves
“undergunned” with the Mossberg MVP
LC. The .308 Win. chambering is potent
with the detachable magazine serving to
enhance the platforms potency. ABOVE:
Mossberg has tweaked their 4x4 bolt action
with dual push design to enable it to
handle feeding from detachable magazines.
RIGHT TOP: Magpul CTR AR style
adjustable stock allows for easy length of
pull adjustment. RIGHT CENTER: MDT
chassis is pre-drilled to accept a night vision
hood rail accessory allowing for use
of night vision or tactical lights. RIGHT:
Magpul 7.62 magazines worked without
issue with the MVP LC rifle.
