Mossberg Patriot Predator 6.5 PRC Bolt Action Rifle

Description

The Mossberg Patriot Predator is built for hunters and long-range field shooters who want a capable bolt gun without paying a custom-shop price. It is chambered in 6.5 PRC, a cartridge that pushes high-BC bullets fast enough to handle wind and distance at ranges where most hunting cartridges start to run out of authority. The 1:8″ twist rate is well-suited to the heavier, longer projectiles that make 6.5 PRC worth shooting in the first place — stabilizing the 140- to 147-grain bullets that the cartridge is most often loaded with. Go lighter and twist rate matters less; stay in that upper weight range and the 1:8 keeps things consistent.

The 24″ barrel gives the powder charge the dwell time it needs to fully burn before the bullet leaves the muzzle, which translates to higher velocity and less unburned propellant compared to a shorter tube with the same load. The barrel is both fluted and threaded, so it sheds weight along the profile and leaves the option open for a suppressor or muzzle device at the end. Receiver steel is finished in Patriot Brown Cerakote, and the stock is TrueTimber Strata — a pattern designed to break up the human outline in mixed terrain.

The LBA trigger is user-adjustable, which matters when you are dialing in a field rifle for a specific pull weight without sending it to a gunsmith. The crossbolt safety is straightforward to operate with a gloved hand. No sights are included, so you will be mounting optics directly to the Picatinny rail on top of the receiver. The four-round box magazine keeps the action compact while still providing enough capacity for most hunting situations.
