Mossberg Patriot Bolt Action Rifle, .25-06 Remington

Description

The Mossberg Patriot is a working hunter’s bolt gun — straightforward, reliable, and priced to leave room in the budget for glass. Chambered in .25-06 Remington, it occupies a useful middle ground: enough velocity to reach cleanly across open country on deer-sized game, yet flat-shooting enough to minimize holdover when ranges stretch. It suits hunters who want a dedicated rifle in a cartridge that doesn’t punish at the bench during load development.

The 1-in-10 twist rate is well-matched to the .25-06’s practical bullet weight range, stabilizing the heavier 115- to 120-grain projectiles that most hunters reach for while still handling the lighter, faster loads used for varmints and predators. That flexibility makes the cartridge genuinely versatile in a way that most single-purpose hunting rounds aren’t.

The fluted 22-inch barrel reduces overall weight without meaningfully shortening the sight radius or sacrificing the velocity that the .25-06 needs to perform at distance. The matte blued steel finish handles field conditions without broadcasting your position, and the synthetic stock shrugs off moisture and temperature swings that would work against a wood-stocked rifle over a season.

Mossberg’s LBA — Lightning Bolt Action — trigger is adjustable, which matters on a hunting rifle because factory trigger weights are often set conservatively for handling safety and a shooter’s ability to tune pull weight to their preference improves practical accuracy more than most hardware changes will. The crossbolt safety is straightforward and positive. The rifle ships with a single five-round magazine and is drilled for Weaver-style scope bases, so most mid-range hunting optics will mount directly without additional adapters.
