MOSSBERG PATRIOT 22-250 WD/SS 22″ TB #

Description

The Mossberg Patriot in .22-250 Remington is a purpose-built varmint and predator rifle — the kind of setup that earns its keep behind a bipod at a prairie dog town or from a field position calling coyotes. The .22-250 is one of the flattest-shooting centerfire cartridges available, giving shooters the ability to stretch ranges considerably before drop becomes a serious ballistic concern, and the Patriot platform is built around getting the most out of that performance without unnecessary bulk or cost.

The barrel is fluted, which removes material between the lands to reduce overall weight while increasing surface area — the practical effect is a barrel that sheds heat faster during a busy shooting session than an equivalent unfluted profile would. The stainless steel construction with a Cerakote finish gives the metal surfaces meaningful protection against moisture and field conditions, which matters on a rifle that’s likely to see early mornings, wet grass, and extended time in a scabbard. The walnut stock pairs traditional aesthetics with a material that is dimensionally stable and comfortable to shoulder across a range of temperatures.

The bolt action feeds from a detachable box magazine with a 5+1 capacity, which keeps the action clean and the rifle usable in jurisdictions or disciplines where round count matters. Mossberg’s LBA — Lightning Bolt Action — trigger is user-adjustable, letting the shooter dial in a pull weight that suits their preference without a trip to a gunsmith. The threaded barrel opens the door to muzzle devices of the shooter’s choosing. For anyone running a high-volume varminting setup or wanting a clean, adjustable trigger out of the box, the Patriot offers a practical configuration without unnecessary extras driving up the price.
