I will second the Mossberg MVP Patrol.
I bought one in .223 for my 11yo son to use for hunting and target shooting.
The factory irons (Fiber Optic front sight) are decent. Front is a little large for beyond 50 yds shooting. It comes with a 1-piece picatinny base to mount a scope. I mounted a new Leupold VX-1 2-7x33 on it, but haven't sighted it in yet.
Trigger is quite good. It's an Accutrigger copy and breaks cleanly with little overtravel or takeup.
Bolt is a little sloppy at full throw, but doesn't bind when cycling.
It uses standard AR magazines (Steel, Aluminum, or Polymer). Comes with 1 10rd steel mag. I bought and plan to use 10rd Pmags going forward.
Once I sight in the scope and test it for groups, I will report back on the accuracy.
