Mossberg 100 ATR Super Bantam Centerfire Rifle Package

Comments about Mossberg® 100 ATR™ Super Bantam Centerfire Rifle:

My 10yo daughter wouldn't go hunting with me again unless she could have her own gun. i bought her this gun. She loves it. Sighted in (she did) in 3 rounds. 50 cent piece grouping with 5 rounds. light enough for her to handle but heavy enough to drop the deer. i used it when she didn't go. would definately recommend this to others. i had a great response from others in our hunting party (10 people) in fact 3 or 4 of them will probably be getting this rifle for themselves due to their age and how light it is. the only problem i see with it is that it is top load only, wish it had clip or bottom load.

I was looking for a entry level deer rifle for my daughter and saw this rifle at my local Gander Mountain Store. After comparing it with other models, I chose the Mossberg because of the smooth action, the great trigger, and the stock extentions that will allow her to continue to use this rifle for years to come.

I just picked this up for my 10 year old son. His is chambered in a .308 and I was worried that the recoil would be too much for him and put him off. My fears were unfounded because of the excellent recoil padding Mossberg used on the stock. The recoil is definitely hefty, but the recoil pad makes it feel very manageable even for a smaller youth. My son ended up shooting 40 rounds through it on the first day, far more than I would want to shoot through my 30-06. The action on the rifle is MCUH smoother than comparably priced youth rifle/scope packages. The scope is probably the weakest part of the overall package but even there Mossberg delivers a functional product. In short if you are looking for a youth rifle to go hunting with and don't want to spend a lot without making compromises, this rifle is a great way to go. Also don't be afraid to go big with this gun, the recoil pad is outstanding.

It is a pretty good cold weather rifle although once it gets warmed up it won't extract the spent cartridge. Also I spoke with my local gunsmith who said he wouldn't one of these if it was given to him for free. He has worked a case where the bolt locking mechanism failed on a 25-06 version of this gun blinding the shooter in the right eye as a result.

This is an ideal youth gun (love the fact you can add extenders as your child grows). It has everything necessary to help the hunter get his game. The firing of the gun is pretty loud and the "kick" strong which can be disarming to the beginner; otherwise, it is perfect!
