\"NF-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This morning I was playing around with the new MVP Light Chassis (LC)<\/a> rifle from Mossberg. Before my shooting session got rained out, and before I could really see how well this rifle shoots, I got side tracked. (this seems to happen more and more often the older I get.) You see, what happened was I\u00a0started playing with the iPhone adapter on the Nightforce TS-82 Spotting Scope<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The video (see bottom of post) is a bit shaky because I was shooting from my range building and the tripod was on the floor with me. And, the MVP LC <\/a>rifle has a muzzle brake, which exaggerates the shakiness.<\/p>\n

\"NF-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can think of several ways to use this device on the range and in the field while scouting or hunting. The iPhone adapter is indeed a neat accessory for the Nightforce spotter<\/a>. I also might add that at first blush, the Mossberg MVP LC<\/a> looks like a good shooting rifle. More to come if it ever stops raining. And, if I can stay focused on one project long enough to finish it.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
