Mossberg Patriot Rifle 7mm PRC 24 in. Black

Description

The Mossberg Patriot in 7mm PRC is built for hunters and precision shooters who need genuine long-range capability in a bolt-action package that doesn’t demand a custom-rifle budget. The 7mm PRC cartridge was designed from the outset around long, high-BC projectiles, and the 1-in-8 twist rate keeps those heavier bullets stabilized at extended range — if you’re running lighter 139- or 154-grain loads, they’ll work, but this rifle is optimized for the 175-grain class where the cartridge earns its reputation on elk-sized game.

The 24-inch barrel gives the powder charge the dwell time it needs to fully develop velocity, which matters particularly with a cartridge running at 7mm PRC pressures — shortening that barrel meaningfully would cost you real speed at the muzzle. Mossberg flutes the barrel to offset some of the weight that comes with that length, and the threaded muzzle lets you add a suppressor or muzzle brake without additional machining. The recessed match crown protects the rifling exit point from the dings and contact damage that field use invites, which pays off in sustained accuracy over the rifle’s working life.

The spiral-fluted bolt reduces the bearing surface contacting the receiver during cycling, which lightens the lift and makes the action feel smoother in dirty or cold conditions. The user-adjustable LBA trigger lets you dial pull weight to your preference without sending the rifle to a gunsmith, which is a practical advantage for hunters who want a crisp break and shooters who are particular about their felt trigger. Weaver-style bases are pre-installed, so you can mount a scope immediately without additional hardware. The synthetic stock keeps overall weight down to a level that stays manageable through a full day on the mountain.
