Mossberg Patriot Features Mossberg gives the Patriot a 1-in-16 twist rate a slow rate matched to the large-diameter heavy bullets that .350 Legend is loaded with so the rifle stabilizes hunting projectiles without over-spinning them. Because the cartridge burns its powder quickly the shortened barrel gives up very little practical velocity while cutting length and weight where a hunter feels it most in the swing and in the carry. The muzzle is threaded 11/16x24 the standard pattern for the cartridge so a brake or a suppressor threads on directly. For hunters who work tight timber box blinds and shooting houses that short threaded barrel is the single feature that makes the rifle easier to live with all season. Feeding comes from a detachable drop box magazine holding four rounds and the rifle ships with one magazine so reloads are a simple exchange rather than a fumbling top-off with cold hands. A two-position thumb safety sits within easy reach of the firing hand and gives the shooter a clear positive indication of the rifle s condition on the stand. No iron sights are fitted which keeps the barrel clean and leaves the choice of glass entirely to the shooter. For hunters who take one careful shot per season the straightforward controls and dependable feeding of the Patriot are exactly what a deer rifle should offer. The synthetic stock is finished in MultiCam a pattern that breaks up the rifle s outline against mixed terrain and synthetic construction means the stock shrugs off the moisture and knocks that would swell or dent wood. Patriot Brown Cerakote over the metalwork resists rust and scuffing while cutting glare an advantage when a rifle rides a rack or a rail through a wet muddy season. Its compact overall length and modest weight make the rifle easy to hand to a younger or smaller-framed hunter without the awkwardness of a full-size deer rifle. For families and hunters looking for a weather-ready straight-wall bolt gun that handles as well as it carries the Mossberg Patriot is available now for sale at GrabAGun.
