For shooters focused on precision at the range, the right bolt-action rifle combines repeatable accuracy, dependable ergonomics, and optic integration that doesn’t compromise the platform. This review breaks down how a purpose-built combo performs for target work and range-focused precision shooting.

MOSSBERG PATRIOT VORTEX SCOPED

As a Bolt Action platform chambered in .270 Win, the Patriot Vortex Scoped combo brings practical ballistics and field-proven ergonomics together. The package ships with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope with a Dead-Hold BDC reticle—useful for holdover and windage at variable distances—and a Weaver scope base installed for immediate zeroing.

Design and Ergonomics

The Patriot Vortex Scoped weighs in at about 8 lbs with a 42.75″ overall length and a 13.75″ length of pull—measurements that balance stability and maneuverability on the bench. The walnut stock and forend give traditional handling and consistent cheek weld. A dropbox magazine holds five rounds, making reloads straightforward for range drills.

Action & Trigger

Mossberg’s patented LBA user-adjustable trigger is a standout: adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds to match shooter preference and discipline. The spiral-fluted bolt with an updated bolt angle and knurl pattern ensures smooth, reliable cycling under repetition.

Barrel & Accuracy Features

Button-rifled, 22″ fluted barrel with a recessed crown and fluting reduces weight and dissipates heat while protecting the muzzle. Those features support consistent groups at distance, particularly when paired with the Crossfire II optic.

Optics and Ballistics

The included Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm is fully multi-coated with resettable MOA turrets and a long eye relief, plus nitrogen-purged, O-ring sealed construction for waterproof/fogproof reliability. The Dead-Hold BDC reticle’s custom hashmark design simplifies holdover calculations for .270 Win’s relatively flat trajectory—ideal for precision target sequences and variable-distance work.

Range Applications

Chambered in .270 Win, this rifle excels at medium- to long-range target practice and precision drills where bullet energy and a flat trajectory matter. The combination of a tunable LBA trigger, fluted barrel, and BDC reticle makes follow-up shots and elevation holds intuitive for disciplined shooters.
