MOSSBERG PATRIOT PRED 243WIN BL/FDE 22″

Description

The Patriot Predator is built around the practical demands of varmint hunting and predator work: ranges that punish inconsistency, field conditions that punish complexity, and the need to connect before the animal moves. In .243 Winchester, the rifle sits in a caliber that spans double-duty use well — flat enough for longer shots on coyotes and foxes, yet capable of handling deer-weight targets where local seasons permit. The 1:10″ twist rate is optimized for the mid-weight to heavier bullets that .243 shooters commonly run for predator and light big-game work, so handloaders and factory-ammunition buyers alike have a wide range of effective options rather than being pushed toward one narrow bullet weight.

The bolt is spiral-fluted and carries an oversized handle, which matters when you’re running the action quickly from a cold or gloved hand — the additional purchase makes a real difference in field conditions. Mossberg’s LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger is user-adjustable, so you can dial pull weight to suit your shooting style without sending the rifle to a gunsmith. The barrel is fluted and threaded at 5/8″×24, which keeps weight down while giving you the option to mount a muzzle device at the end of a predator session. A thread protector ships with the rifle.

The receiver comes drilled and tapped and topped with a Picatinny rail, so you can mount virtually any modern scope without additional machining or adapter plates. The Flat Dark Earth synthetic stock resists moisture and temperature changes that would cause dimensional shifts in wood, keeping bedding consistent through wet dawn sits and mid-summer heat. Matte Blued metal reduces glare in the field. The five-round box magazine gives you a meaningful reserve without adding bulk.
