Mossberg Patriot 7mm-08 Remington 22-Inch Rifle

Description

The Mossberg Patriot in 7mm-08 Remington is a hunting bolt-action built for shooters who want a capable, field-ready rifle without unnecessary weight or complexity. The 7mm-08 cartridge sits in a useful middle ground: it pushes bullets fast enough for elk-country shots at reasonable distances, generates less recoil than larger magnums, and feeds reliably in a short-action receiver, which allows for a slightly more compact and rigid action than a standard long-action design would permit.

The 1-in-10 twist rate stabilizes a broad range of 7mm-08 bullet weights, from lighter 120-grain loads up through the heavier 160-grain projectiles hunters favor for larger game. That flexibility lets you tune the load to the quarry without changing rifles. The 22-inch fluted barrel provides enough velocity to take full advantage of those heavier bullets while keeping overall length manageable in the field. Fluting reduces barrel weight without meaningfully affecting stiffness, so the rifle carries lighter than a comparable contour of unfluted steel.

The Cerakote stainless steel finish provides corrosion resistance suited to wet weather and humid climates where bare metal would require constant attention. Mossberg’s user-adjustable LBA trigger allows you to set the break weight to your preference without sending the rifle to a gunsmith, which matters when you’re dialing in a precise hold for longer shots. A recessed match-grade crown protects the rifling at the muzzle from the kind of contact damage that can open groups. The detachable box magazine makes unloading quick and straightforward, and the crossbolt safety is a manual, mechanical system with a straightforward operation familiar to most bolt-gun shooters. No sights are included, so plan to mount an optic before heading to the range.
