Mossberg Patriot 7mm PRC 24-Inch Bolt-Action Rifle

Description

The Mossberg Patriot in 7mm PRC is built for hunters and long-range shooters who want a capable bolt-action at a working-rifle price. The 7mm PRC cartridge was designed from the ground up for high-BC projectiles, and the 1-in-8 twist rate here is fast enough to stabilize the heavy-for-caliber bullets the round rewards — meaning handloaders and factory-ammo buyers alike can run the heavier 175-grain class projectiles without worrying about under-stabilization. That combination makes this a serious tool for elk and mule deer at distance where the cartridge’s retained velocity earns its keep.

Mossberg’s LBA trigger is user-adjustable across a 2-to-7 pound pull range, which lets a shooter set a crisp, lighter pull for deliberate field shots without a gunsmith visit. The spiral-fluted bolt reduces the contact surface between bolt body and receiver, which smooths the cycling feel and sheds debris in rough field conditions. A recessed match crown protects the rifling at the muzzle from the knocks that hunting rifles routinely absorb in a saddle scabbard or truck cab. The barrel threads 5/8″-24 TPI, which is the standard pattern for this bore diameter, leaving the door open for a muzzle device of the shooter’s choosing. The Cerakote Stainless finish resists corrosion without the maintenance demands of bare stainless, a practical advantage in wet alpine or coastal environments. No iron sights are fitted, so a scope is required — Weaver-style bases come pre-installed, giving a broad selection of compatible ring sets at modest cost.
