Mossberg Patriot Predator 6.5 PRC 24-Inch Rifle

Description

The Patriot Predator in 6.5 PRC is built for hunters and long-range shooters who want a capable bolt-action without the premium price tag. The 6.5 PRC is a short-magnum cartridge that pushes heavy, high-BC projectiles to flat trajectories and retained velocity at distance — it hits harder at 500 yards than many cartridges do at 300, and it does so from a standard short-action platform rather than demanding a long-action receiver.

The 24-inch barrel gives the cartridge enough dwell time to reach meaningful velocity gains over shorter configurations, which matters with the 6.5 PRC’s powder charges. That barrel is fluted to reduce weight along its length without sacrificing stiffness, and it is threaded at the muzzle so you can fit a suppressor or muzzle brake without gunsmithing. The matte blued finish keeps glare down in field conditions. A Picatinny rail is mounted to the receiver, giving you a consistent, repeatable base for whatever optic you intend to run.

The OD Green synthetic stock is built for weather indifference — it won’t warp or swell the way wood can after a wet morning in the field, and the OD Green finish keeps it low-visibility in a hunting context. The detachable box magazine holds four rounds, with one in the chamber, and the removable design means you can top off or swap loads in the field without working rounds through the action one at a time. This is a working rifle priced for someone who wants honest performance at distance rather than a safe queen.
