\"Red<\/p>\n

While I was working on building two CURs,<\/a> using the Mossberg MVP as a base platform, Mossberg was secretly teaming with Red Jacket<\/a> to offer their own updated version of the MVP. No, the Red Jacket branded MVP is not a CUR<\/a> but it is an upgraded version of the MVP. The most notable upgrade is the synthetic stock with a push button adjustable comb and the soft touch Mosscote finish. Two Red Jacket<\/a> MVPs\u00a0will be offered on the compact action and one on the short action. Available chamberings will be .223 Remington, .300 Blackout and .308 Winchester. All three come with a threaded barrel and suppressor ready muzzle brakes. And, all three rifles come with fast twist barrels for shooting either high BC long range or suppressed bullets.<\/p>\n

I got to handle one of the compact Red Jacket<\/a> MVPs at the NRA Annual Meetings and I really liked the stock. It allows for precise shooter eye to sight alignment and the soft touch stock was, pardon the pun, a nice touch. The MVP has made Mossberg a serious player in the hunting \/ tactical rifle arena and the new Red Jacket rifles are further evidence that Mossberg is\u00a0going to continue to innovate. \u00a0Something tells me there is more to come just around the corner.<\/p>\n

Do I like the Red Jacket MVP as much as my CUR? Nope, but that’s the great thing about the CUR concept, with a little hillbilly engineering any of these Red jacket rifles could\u00a0be CURed up. Course, you might like them just as they are and there is nothing wrong with that. I’ll be reviewing the complete line of Mossberg \/ Red Jacket firearms in an upcoming issue of NRA’s Shooting Illustrated<\/a>\u00a0magazine. That should be a clue to you that there’s more to this Mossberg \/ Red Jacket collaboration than just MVPs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
