Platform and key features

As a Bolt Action category rifle, the MOSSBERG PATRIOT VORTEX pairs a spiral-fluted bolt with a streamlined handle, a recessed crown on a fluted barrel, and a 5-round box magazine for quick loading. The Weaver scope base simplifies mounting upgrades while the patented LBA user-adjustable trigger gives shooters a crisp, tunable break—important for consistent shot placement in stress scenarios.

Optics and ballistic capability

Out of the box the rifle includes a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope with Dead-Hold BDC reticle, multicoated lenses, and resettable MOA turrets. That factory optic plus the 1:10 twist and .30-06 chambering create a versatile defensive and long-range capable system for targets from close quarters to extended distances.

Ergonomics and handling

At 7.5 lb and 42.75″ overall length with a 13.75″ length of pull, the configuration balances portability with stable sighting. The fluted barrel and bolt reduce weight while the synthetic stock affords weather-resistant durability; walnut options are also available for shooters seeking a classic aesthetic. Price is competitive at $546.99, offering strong value for a scoped combo that includes quality components.

Technical users will appreciate the recessed crown for improved accuracy and the resettable MOA turrets for fast follow-up shots. For additional details or to confirm stock options, View product details and pricing.
