The modern defender needs a rifle that balances accuracy, durability, and value. Tactical shooters and hunters alike will appreciate a bolt-action platform that focuses on the fundamentals: rigid action, predictable trigger, and ergonomic stock geometry for repeatable accuracy in real-world conditions.

MOSSBERG PATRIOT is an example of that engineering focus. This model ships in 30-06 Springfield with a 22″ barrel, matte blue finish, and a BFG synthetic stock. The exclusive rib and a 5-round detachable box magazine deliver a compact, serviceable package at an aggressive price point of $399.99.

Design and build features

The Patriot’s exclusive rib adds a clean sight plane and visual balance to the 22″ barrel, while the matte blue finish resists glare and reduces visual signature. The BFG synthetic stock is engineered for stability in changing conditions where a laminated or full composite stock might otherwise be preferred. The detachable 5-round DBMAG simplifies reloads and allows for faster magazine changes during training or field use.

30-06 Springfield: capability and applications

Chambered in 30-06 Springfield, this Patriot variant covers a broad envelope for defense and medium-to-large game hunting. The caliber’s long-established ballistics deliver reliable terminal performance and effective range for engagements where shot placement and energy transfer matter. For tactical-minded shooters, the 30-06 offers a familiar recoil profile and ammunition availability across most markets.

Tactical handling and ergonomics

The bolt-action platform provides inherent accuracy advantages: a locked, rigid action and a short, crisp lock time. The Patriot’s stock geometry supports consistent cheek weld and sight alignment, and the 22″ barrel length balances velocity and maneuverability for wooded or mixed-terrain use.
