Mossberg Patriot .25-06 Remington Bolt Action Rifle

Description

The Mossberg Patriot in .25-06 Remington is built for hunters who need a flat-shooting, hard-hitting rifle capable of reaching across open country at whitetail, pronghorn, or mule deer. The .25-06 is a long-range cartridge that generates meaningful velocity and a relatively flat trajectory, and the 1-in-10 twist rate is well-matched to the bullet weights that exploit that performance — specifically the heavier 117- and 120-grain projectiles that retain energy at distance without the twist rate fighting them at the lighter end of the selection. Shooters choosing ammunition should keep that stabilization window in mind.

The barrel carries a Stainless Cerakote finish, which combines the corrosion resistance of stainless steel construction with an additional barrier against moisture and abrasion — useful on any rifle that sees pack-in hunts or unpredictable weather. The fluted profile reduces weight along the barrel without shortening it, which keeps the muzzle velocity advantage of the 22-inch length intact while improving the balance of a rifle you may carry more than you shoot. The bolt is spiral-fluted as well, contributing a modest weight reduction and giving dirt and carbon fewer flat surfaces to accumulate on during field use.

Mossberg’s LBA — Lightning Bolt Action — trigger is adjustable, which matters on a hunting rifle because factory trigger pulls are often set conservatively heavy. Being able to bring the break weight down to suit your preference without a trip to a gunsmith is a practical advantage in the field. The crossbolt safety is straightforward to operate and familiar to anyone who has used a pump-action shotgun. The rifle ships without iron sights, so plan for a scope from the start — the receiver is drilled and tapped to accept standard mounts.
