My lucky little brother won a Mossberg 4x4 270 rifle in a raffle. We sighted it in this last weekend and I have to say I was impressed. It is a very light rifle with a very nice trigger, surprisingly crisp for adjustable triggers I've tried. It has a pencil thin fluted barrel so I didn't expect fantastic groups but it held its own as a hunting rifle. He kept a box of shells all in a 10 inch circle at 300 yards and he didn't wait around for the barrel to cool or anything. It kept all the five shot groups within 2 inches at 100 yards. We were shooting from a lead sled on a bucket so with a decent bench and some optics better that his $50 3x9 it was more than adequate for his investment.
It also showed me how spoiled I was with my AR-10, I kept waiting for it to load the next round but it never did My rifles groups were always half what the Mossberg was but then I paid a bit more. It is no comparison to an Armalite but was nice enough to make me share my experience.
There are some really good low priced bolt rifles out there. The Savage Axis is guaranteed 1 MOA at 100 yards, for $359. I bought my son one and it does what they say. A friend has the Mossberg and he swears by it.
