Mossberg is adding four new models of MVP—Mossberg Varmint Predator—rifles to their catalog for 2013. The new rifles make up the Patrol series, and are compact workhorse bolt guns chambered in 5.56 NATO and 300 AAC Blackout.
Obviously marketed towards law enforcement and other civil servants that could use a good rifle, the MVP Patrol rifles will no doubt find homes with shooters of all types.
The MVP is a Mossberg 4×4 that accepts AR-15 box magazines. Otherwise it’s a straightforward bolt-action rifle with eyes on simplicity and accuracy while still keeping costs down. The Patrol rifles differ from the standard MVP; they have black stocks and short, 16-inch bull barrels.
Mossberg guarantees that their MVP rifles shoot 1 MOA out of the box. They have target crowns in addition to the heavy barrels.

“I don’t want the thing either but, most sniper action is under 51 yards.”
Almost certainly talking about police snipers.
Fascinating and I’d not have guessed it, but urban environments would reduce that distance quite a bit. So am I making a mistake learning to shoot man-sized targets out to 300 yards plus?
Outstanding article and great research. Two takeaways:
1. There are a lot of urban legends without any background support. I’ve been researching beach lighting’s effect on sea turtle hatchlings and cannot find any good science on it. Be skeptical.
2. The info on the HollowPoint BoatTail is priceless. There’s a great danger in using this round and departments should move quickly away from it.

LOL
Rush is working on that and I’m sure his Greatness will find a solution...
Great, another gun we can’t find ammunition for...
