I hunt coyotes and need a gun, and i know its pretty cheap compared to some others. I will get it in a 22-250 if possible, or if i cant a .243. Does anybody know if these are a good gun?

A friend of mine bought her husband a Mossberg 100 ATR for Christmas and asked me to mount the scope and sight it in so it would be ready to shoot when he got it. I was impressed with the accuracy. At 50 yards the bullets cut the same hole. This was a .270 but I'd say the other calibers would shoot just as good. It's not the prettiest rifle I've ever shot but shoots just as good as my Remingtons, Rugers and Brownings. They sell them at the Wal-mart here for $244 which is hard to beat. Good luck with the coyote hunting.

I personally find the Mossberg very clunky and the action just doesn't feel right. I do hear better things about their accuracy.The scope on the Mossberg isn't something you will want to trust for long. In the same price range you should be able to find a Savage 110 or 10 Model or something similar.Savage has been great for out of box accuracy and the Accutrigger is pretty decent. Savage does have specific tactical and varmint rifles available but they can be pricey. Another option is the Howa 1500 / Weatherby Vanguard family. You can get them from Wal Mart for less than $400. Howa builds the Vanguard for Weatherby and Howa Actions are well know for use in long range competitions. I have seen Howa 1500 Howe Stocked with overgrip AND a Nikko-Sterling scope for less than $500. The ATR is a good yeoman or entry level rifle. But even with all the bells and whistles it is more like a Chevy with an upgraded stereo than an Accura with a good suspension package. I'm very fond of the Tikka T3s now, and you might want to invest that little bit more. I always see guns as investments, even if they don't increase in price, and you will never fault yourself for buying quality. Compare the Mossberg with the Howa/Vanguard, and then cycle a Tikka and feel the difference.

It's an excellent weapon for the money. you may also want to check out Howa 1500. It's made on the same assembly line as the Weatherby Vanguard but cost is similar to the Mossberg.

For the price, I think Mossberg rifles and shotgun are tops.

A friend of mine has one in a 270 and he loves it. He got 3 deer with it this year.
