The Ruger and Savage are non- existent now. I found 2 MVP Scout's and an MVP Patrol at Andrew Clyde's (2020) Armory ... 1 Scout w/ the Vortex... 1 without, and the MVP Patrol had a 3-9x40 scope... All in 308.

Mossberg has all kinds of MVP flavors these days. I liked my Mossberg Patriot .308 Win but then I wanted more recoil management and a cheek rise that I would have to find some way to make. I wanted to put it on an At One adjustable stock from Boyds but two emails confirmed they do not have one for the Patriot style of action. Then, I realized that I was basically trying to build an MVP. And I could do better by just buying it. Which I did, beginning of last year. MVP Long Range 308 Thunder Ranch Kuiu Camo. Cost plus tax plus shipping plus transfer fee came to a bit under 900 dollars. Harris bipod approx 80. Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6x-24x/50 mm scope was 400. Rings. Soft carrying case. I think I spent a total outlay of $1,450 getting this thing all together. And worth it. Touching bullet holes at 100 yards. Heavy wood stock and 20 inch bull barrel (threaded.) Steady while aiming off-hand. The weight takes a lot of the recoil. I use it for hunting. But, as mentioned in this video, it could be a battle rifle if used in battle. It does not have iron sites.

I agree with you Sarge.... I'll take aimed fire over volume fire every time. When or if the battle is on, shots that don't hit have very little meaning. I also have taken deer sized targets with the smaller calibers, but prefer the greater authority of the 7.62 Nato I trained with in 1968 if facing a two-legged threat at moderate ranges. Because the M1A falls outside of most peoples wallets, this rifle is a pretty good alternative. Thanks for your service Brother.MSG, USA Ret.

I know we all want a 308 battle rifle semiauto cause it's cool, retro, and feels like a mans rifle. But realistically speaking it's also twice or three times as expensive a 308 bolt, heavy to hump around with and expensive to feed. If you don't have money to burn then get a bolt and get good enough with it to put food on the table. A 308 battle rifle is like a 10mm gun. Do you really need it? No. But it's damn fun to shoot. Fun is expensive

I have friends who were part of the investigation and apparently the bullet bounced off his spine into his head and then bounced out of his head down into his chest and out, the bullet was found on the floor next to where he was standing.

If the rail could be pushed forward to the Scout position and a decent adjustable aperture and front post sight be applied then I would love to see exactly how far I could push the range of engagement for that platform. I'm not a fan of long eye relief scopes. However the aforementioned aperture/post combo would certainly augment it.

I like your philosophy sarge it is very sound principled advise. the objective in a shooting fight is to not get hit and be skillful enough to neutralize your advisory. there are no John Wayne tactics on the field. Patient wait is best for the right shot or escape. I have watched several videos on 308 scouts of different manufacturers, and it seems as though they all have lots in common with each other except Price perhaps. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them for functionality, that means that the holder of the weapon is of greater concern than the rifle. About caliber, President Reagan was shot with a 22 lr and nearly lost his life to it. It is a nasty little round.

Great video, Sarge. I would add (or maybe put a sharpened point on your point), gear of any sort (packs, clothing, firearms, etc) is 'situation-driven'. With firearms - intended adversary, terrain, income-to-purchase capability, personal experience/training, etc., all are factors when deciding what is mission appropriate. Training and experience cannot be underscored enough. "Practice, practice, practice" is a mantra most already ignore,...and that's only regarding marksmanship. Who (particularly the non-military patriots) has ever practiced stoppages of 'every' kind? Failure to feed/to extract, squib-loads, stove-pipes, etc., are problems inherent to self-loaders and manual-fed alike. How about mag-drop drills? ...communication to those with you, etc, etc. Just getting a feel for these things (meaning practicing at least once and hopefully a couple times a year) places a patriot so far ahead of when we fail to practice at all,...regardless of chosen weapon, gear, etc.

I had thoughts along the same as Sarge when I pruchased my copy of the MossB MVP and decided to stay/pull from my own over stocked 223, and what sealed the deal w/MossB was the open iron sights. Rugar's modeled bolt MVPs style does not go as far as to provide dove-tail slots, and w/Colt? I will not go as far to mentioned the name after their try in giving me a good 'screw' five yrs ago over a mis-alignedment contracted M4 upper w/their name stamped. "This MossB MVP is a sweet iron". I've moved the sling link mounting screw to the stock's rt outside 2.5 up from the butt plate. Works good w/other backpac'g stuff.

You bring a good argument for .22lr, but the main Achilles' heel for it right now is that the ammo is still not readily available in the market. Hoarders of this particular cartridge have still forced the price up, and access down. Granted it will not be that way forever, but no one knows when reality will return and we are going on four years of a dry market. Until then, a .223 or 308 is a better bet for ammo availability.

I still love it just be careful when in extreme cold.

Thank you for the talk about your rifle. I'll probably be getting one in a few weeks. Thank you also for your thoughts on getting into gunfights, especially long range gunfights. I'll make sure I avoid those.

I really like the black shirt with camo-type arms you are wearing in this video. What "brand" or "style" is it? Where can it be purchased?

I would definitely take it. I am really curious about the 5.56 versions that are out for this rifle. Like you, there is to me a lot of appeal to a bolt gun that still has iron sights.

mark3smle I have the 5.56 patrol model... its one of my favorite. Mag pul 10 and 20 shot mags work the best for feeding smoothly and not being too long... 30 rounders off the bench or harris bipod is a pain in the butt

I'm looking at getting rid of my 20 in 308 for one of these. Everything from storage in my gun safe to hiking in the Pacific northwest looking for deer and elk. I'm looking to see if this is a great fit. Could you please do another video of this rifle, you're the only one that's gone through it. Just want to make sure I'm buying a quality product.

I entertain them just because i like firearms in general , but boy they can't appreciate anything that's not an ar, it is laughable

+576575s actually I love the ar and it's my go to option for defence anywhere from 0-300 yards. mine is outfitted with a red dot sight and a good white light. I can appreciate bolt guns and lever guns as well. but you mocking attachments leads me to believe you are kind of clueless. try to defend yourself in the dark when you don't have a light on your rifle. it is our responsibility to positively id our targets to many people have shot and killed a family member thinking they where an intruder.

+David Boerin we can agree on that. to me their are 3 things every defensive long gun should have a sling and a light and iron sights. an optic is optional (should still have irons) everything else people add is probably only there to get likes on instagran

I pray you never find yourself in a combat situation, because you will be woefully outgunned against somebody with equal skill equipped with even a simple sport AR. Bolt actions are awesome for hunting, scouting and sniping, but in open combat you would be completely useless against an opponent wielding a semi-auto with 30 round magazines.

I agree with you on everypoint....that being said, battle rifle (from what I understand) has a definition...and that Includes stuff like using a full power rifle round (like a 308, 762nato). Something like a FAL. Your intermediate rounds anything from 30 carbine, 556, 762-39, etc would fit s different definition.....BUT this really doesn't mean shit to us civilian's....unless we have the selectfire versions, they're all just modern sporting arms. Which is totally fine. Which is also why that mvp you have is a great option

I like the .22lr it's wonderful I agree with you. One of my buddies works for forest and wildlife, he got a call about a home owner that he heard a loud commotion going on and out of fear and panic he got the closet gun fast as possible and it was a .22, he went out to see a bear trying to attack and kill his chickens who happens to be raising. He shot the bear once and bear died instantly.. he told me this and I couldn't believe it!!

Good philosophy of use video, but how well does the rifle function? How accurate is it? How reliably does it feed when one works the action with speed and authority?

Battle rifle away. 👍 Really like your attitude Sarge. Like how this rifle has iron sites and scope mount. Think this will be my first bolt action. Looks very versatile, can be a hunting or "battle rifle". Carry on Sarge.

Sarge, do you still have the MVP? I know you were changing your weapon system. I have mine still along with my lever guns and an sks (10 rounds is enough for me too). Selling my last ar style rilfe. Tried to sell my restored M1 Carbine, but no takers. Have mostly migrated from semi auto pistols to revolvers, but to be fair i do still have a Beretta 92 and CZ75 and the obligatory glock. I prefer my ruger blackhawk in 357 mag or my smith 69 in 44mag with a matching level gun these days. Believe it or not i cannot find a single shot shotgun anywhere at a price that a retired person can afford!!!

Why did you need a rifle in a larger caliber? I thought .22LR was great and shot placement was the most important thing?

Sarge, I got 3 savages model 12fv in 308, 6.5 creedmoor, and a third one in 6.5 creedmoor. All 3 shoot sub minute all day with good ammo. Problem is, if someone broke in on me , I haven't trained with a pistol. It's one thing to be able to shoot half inch groups with good ammo all day at a hundred. It's another thing to be able to effectively take out your enemy inside of 25 yards. I've spent much too much time on the bench rest. Shame on me. Time to start getting familiar with a pistol
