The Mossberg Varmint and Predator (MVP) LR Tactical is built around a solid, bolt-action receiver that accepts SR25 and M1/M14 detachable magazines. The threaded 20” medium contour bull barrel, iron sights and patrol-style stock give the gun its inherent tactical styling and capabilities. A simple, one-button adjustable cheekpiece riser on the painted and textured stock is the standout feature on this model. Chambered for 7.62x51 NATO, the Mossberg MVP LR Tactical is a purpose-built rifle and is at home in the field, on the range or on patrol.
