Mossberg Patriot .25-06 Bolt Action Rifle, 22 Inch, Vortex Scope

Description

The Mossberg Patriot in .25-06 Remington is built around a cartridge that earns its keep at distance — a flat-shooting round that pushes lighter bullets fast enough to make wind drift and drop corrections forgiving out past 300 yards. That makes this rifle a natural fit for open-country deer and antelope hunters, as well as varmint shooters who need the reach that a .223 or .243 won’t deliver. The 1-in-10 twist rate stabilizes the mid-weight projectiles that .25-06 shooters typically favor — roughly 100 to 117 grain bullets — without over-stabilizing the lighter varmint loads, so you get honest versatility across the cartridge’s useful range.

Mossberg fits this rifle with their LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger, which is user-adjustable for pull weight. A consistent, repeatable trigger break matters more than almost any other mechanical factor in practical accuracy, and having the ability to tune it without a gunsmith is a real advantage in a field rifle. The bolt runs spiral-fluted with a knurl pattern, which keeps the action cycling smoothly under the kind of rough conditions a hunting rifle actually sees. The barrel is free-floating, so variations in stock pressure from temperature, humidity, or hand pressure don’t walk your point of impact.

The combo includes a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope, already mounted. The 3-9x magnification range is deliberately general-purpose — low enough at 3x for close brush shots and sufficient at 9x for precise shot placement at the ranges .25-06 was designed for. The walnut stock and matte blued metal finish are traditional without being ornamental. The crossbolt safety is straightforward and easy to run with gloves on. A five-round detachable box magazine drops clear for reloading without fumbling individual rounds into a fixed internal box.
