For serious hunters who demand repeatable accuracy and rugged reliability in the field, a compact, well-engineered bolt-action rifle remains the go-to platform. A light-recoiling cartridge, a smooth action and an adjustable trigger can make long days on stand or stalk more productive and comfortable for shooters of every skill level.

MOSSBERG PATRIOT is built to deliver those exact practical benefits at an attractive price point. The fluted 22″ barrel and spiral fluted bolt are engineered to improve cycling and reduce weight while the patented Lightning Bolt Action (LBA) user-adjustable trigger lets you tune pull weight between 2 and 7 pounds.

Key features that matter

The MOSSBERG PATRIOT is a bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in .243 Win, with a 5-round capacity and a recessed-crown barrel for consistent muzzle finish. Finish choices include Matte Blue or Marinecote, and stock options are available in classic walnut or durable laminate—both with grip and forend checkering for a positive hold under field conditions. The listed price of $560.99 positions it competitively against other factory rifles offering similar specifications.

Trigger and action

The LBA user-adjustable trigger is a standout feature: being able to set pull weight from 2 to 7 pounds allows shooters to match trigger feel to their hunting style. The Lightning Bolt Action and spiral fluted bolt with a streamlined handle promote smooth, fast cycling—useful when rapid follow-up shots are required.

Barrel, twist and accuracy

The 22″ fluted barrel with a 1:10 twist balances weight savings and rigidity. Fluting aids heat dissipation and reduces reciprocating mass, while the recessed crown protects the rifling at the muzzle. For the .243 Win chambering, this combo supports efficient, flat-shooting ballistics ideal for medium game up to deer-size targets.

Fit and finish

Walnut or laminate stock options mean buyers can choose classic aesthetics or a more rugged chassis. The Matte Blue/Marinecote finishes resist corrosion and hide wear in regular use. Capacity is five rounds—typical for hunting layouts where a compact magazine profile aids sling and stock ergonomics.
