MOSSBERG PATRIOT 308WIN BL/SYN 22″ PKG

Description

The Mossberg Patriot is a hunting and general-purpose bolt-action rifle aimed at shooters who want a capable, no-frills package without spending money on features they will never use in the field. It is a particularly practical choice for deer hunters and longer-range target shooters who already know their way around a bolt gun and are looking for a working rifle rather than a showpiece.

The LBA trigger is user-adjustable across a wide pull-weight range, which matters because the right trigger weight is personal — a heavier pull gives confidence when wearing gloves in cold weather, while a lighter setting rewards deliberate bench or precision work. Being able to set it without a gunsmith means the rifle fits the shooter rather than the other way around. The spiral-fluted bolt reduces the contact surface between the bolt body and receiver, which helps it cycle smoothly even when the action is cold or lightly fouled.

The 1-in-10-inch twist rate stabilizes the .308 Winchester bullet weights most hunters and target shooters reach for — the 150- to 175-grain range — without requiring handloaded or specialty ammunition to get the barrel to cooperate. The fluted 22-inch barrel keeps the rifle balanced and easy to carry while retaining enough sight radius and muzzle velocity to make the .308 effective at practical hunting distances. A recessed crown protects the rifling at the muzzle from contact damage that can open up groups without any obvious external sign of the problem.

The rifle ships with Weaver-style bases already fitted, and this package includes a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope with a BDC reticle — giving you a field-ready optic that covers most shooting distances a .308 is realistically used at, with holdover points already marked for extended range work.
