Mossberg Patriot, Predator, 6.5 PRC, 24" Fluted Threaded Barrel, Brown Finish, Syntheic Strata Camo Stock, Adj. Trigger, Picatinny, Oversized Handle, Box Magazine, 5rd

to start with this is an excellent gun for the price point ... but one of the first things I did was purchase a boyds pro varmint stock to replace the "terrible" synthetic one that it comes with .. I then decided to have it pillared /bedded by a respected gunsmith in the area .. we discussed how I wanted certain things done regarding the plastic magazine well and he assured me once he was through the gun would be rock solid .. I hope to have the rifle back in the next week or so and will provide … Read More

Very disappointed. Won't feed from the magazine. Have not even fired a shot and already back for repair.

Took hours to clean the barrel before I even shot this rifle. Terrible trigger!!! Wont adjust below 3.5 lbs. Terrible amount of creep!!! Stay away from this rifle. There are better budget rifles out there.

I am very pleased with the gun, even though I have not shot it because I know mossberg is a great brand. I cannot give a review at this time until I have had a chance to go out and shoot. The vortex scope from my research is one of the good ones and hopefully it will complement this gun.

UPON INSPECTION RIFLE FIT AND FINISH WAS GOOD. ACTION WORKED NICELY AND ALTHOUGH TRIGGER HAD A NICE PULL WEIGHT WAS SOMEWHAT GRITTY. STOCK FIT WAS GOOD AND OF FAIR QUALITY. FOR PRICE POINT QUALITY WAS BETTER THAN SOME HIGHER PRICED RIFLES.

Pros: 1) LBA trigger, as received set at 2lbs 4oz; 2) Ceracote finish; 3) Accuracy, after 5 shots for sight in, fired five 3-shot groups with Hornady match 147 gr ELD (only ammo I could find right now), all groups sub MOA at 100 & 200 yards, two groups 3/4 MOA; 4) Threaded muzzle is square to bore and shoulder is large enough for solid suppressor mounting; 5) Detachable magazine feeds properly; 6) Price, best option for trying out 6.5 PRC; 7) Includes Weaver rail. Cons: 1) The stock, Strata

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. This doesn't affect the ...Read More Read more about review stating Great entry-level rifle

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. After I sighted the wood stock gun in, I let my son shoot it, he said it recoiled about like his 410…his second t...Read More Read more about review stating Son killed first deer with patriot

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.
