Mossberg Patriot Youth Super Bantam Scoped Combo Blued Bolt Action Rifle – 6.5 Creedmoor

Bought the Patriot in .308 for elk hunting. Good rifle, reasonably light but sturdy, surprisingly accurate for a $400 rifle with a 22" barrel. I was able to shoot sub MOA groups at 100yds once I added a Vortex scope. Only questionable thing about the rifle is the bolt which operates a little loose and pops open too easily.

We have a .243 wood stock patriot with vortex scope , and my son killed his first deer at 75 yards with it. That guns stock is to long for him, So I ordered him this youth model and Put a sig whiskey 3 4x12x50 scope on it. He loves it.

Not a bad package for a budget bolt action. Fluted bolt, fluted barrel and wood stock. Trigger is good, action is ok, fit and finish isnt the best. Don't expect a Sako and I think you'll be happy. I would choose this over a Ruger American or a Savage Axis in this price range.

Mounted my scope and was able to consistently hit the target with nice groups. Shot out to 100 yards and was pleased with the results.

1st thing I did was lighten my trigger to 2lb. Then I glass bedded the metal free float insert to the plastic stock. I reload and stuck the bullet out as far as I could for the magazine. There is a lot of free bore in chamber. I did manage to sub MOA

So far the only ammo I have was Winchester Deer Season 150 Grain. My best group at 100 yds was 5 inches. I expected much better. The scope included was worthless so I used a Leopold 3x9 VariXII. I shot from a dead rest so it was either the gun or the ammo. I will try other ammo when I can get some.

Staff was very friendly and answered all my questions. Will definitely use this site in the future. The entire process was very efficient Thank you guys for all your assistance. Thank you for getting this item shipped quickly. My son will definitely be happy on Christmas Day.

I haven't been to the range with the rifle yet but it looks and feels good .I mounted a scope on it and am ready to try it .

I am enjoying this rifle so much, nice look very accurate and well balanced. This rifle with the right scope is a good addition to any collection. I very highly recommend it.
