Mossberg Patriot 7mm-08 Remington Bolt Action Rifle

Description

The Mossberg Patriot in 7mm-08 Remington is a practical bolt-action hunting rifle aimed at shooters who want a capable, no-frills platform for deer-sized game and medium to large animals at field distances. It is light enough to carry all day without becoming a burden, and the classic synthetic stock keeps weight down while shrugging off weather that would raise concerns with a wood-stocked rifle.

The 1-in-9.5″ twist rate is well-matched to the 7mm-08’s typical bullet weight range. That twist stabilizes conventional 120- to 160-grain projectiles reliably, which covers the practical hunting spectrum for this cartridge without pushing toward the heavier, high-BC bullets that would demand a faster twist. Shooters selecting ammunition can work comfortably within that range without worrying about stability.

The fluted barrel reduces mass toward the muzzle without shortening the sight radius or sacrificing the velocity that a 22-inch tube delivers over shorter alternatives. Mossberg’s LBA — Lightning Bolt Action — trigger is user-adjustable, allowing the shooter to dial pull weight to preference without a trip to a gunsmith. The crossbolt safety is a straightforward, centrally located design that operates without repositioning the firing hand. The receiver is drilled and tapped with factory-installed Weaver-style bases, so the rifle arrives scope-ready; no additional machining is needed before mounting an optic. The spiral-fluted bolt reduces contact surface and keeps the action cycling smoothly even when debris or fouling is present. The included drop-box magazine holds five rounds, with one in the chamber bringing total capacity to six.
