The Mossberg Patriot is a classic bolt‑action rifle designed primarily for hunting and sporting use, combining traditional styling with modern manufacturing features and an emphasis on value and reliability. Built around Mossberg’s proven bolt‑action platform, the Patriot series offers solid accuracy, practical ergonomics, and durable construction suitable for regular field use.
This model is chambered in .308 Winchester and features a 22" (559 mm) fluted barrel, which helps reduce weight while maintaining rigidity and consistent accuracy. The barrel is finished in Cerakote over stainless steel, providing enhanced resistance to corrosion and wear in demanding outdoor environments. A recessed match‑style crown protects the rifling at the muzzle and contributes to consistent bullet release. The 1:10 twist rate is well suited for stabilizing the wide range of bullet weights commonly used in .308 Winchester.
The rifle operates with a bolt‑action system and feeds from a detachable box magazine, with a total capacity of 5+1 rounds. The action is complemented by a spiral‑fluted bolt, which reduces mass and provides smooth, reliable operation.
The trigger system is Mossberg’s patented Lightning Bolt Action (LBA®) trigger, which is user‑adjustable from approximately 0.9 to 3.2 kg (2–7 lb). This system is designed to deliver a clean, consistent trigger pull while allowing the shooter to tailor the trigger weight to personal preference or specific shooting applications.
The rifle is fitted with a black synthetic stock, offering durability and resistance to moisture and temperature changes. The fixed length of pull (LOP) measures approximately 349 mm (13.75"), providing a traditional and well‑balanced shooting position. For optics mounting, the receiver is equipped with Weaver‑style bases, allowing straightforward installation of a riflescope.
With an overall length of approximately 1073 mm and a weight of about 2.95 kg, the Mossberg Patriot delivers a lightweight, well‑balanced platform that emphasizes practicality, accuracy, and durability—making it a solid choice for hunters seeking a dependable bolt‑action rifle with modern features at an accessible price point.
