The demands of big-game hunting require a rifle that balances accuracy, reliability, and straightforward ergonomics. For hunters who want an out-of-the-box package with features that matter in the field, there are few bolt-action options that deliver the same value-to-performance ratio.

Design and mechanical advantages

As a bolt-action rifle built for big game, the MOSSBERG PATRIOT pairs practical features with hunting-ready durability. The fluted barrel reduces weight and improves cooling and cycling, while the recessed crown preserves accuracy shot after shot. The spiral fluted bolt and streamlined bolt handle make rapid, smooth cycling a reality when follow-up shots matter.

Lightning Bolt Action (LBA) adjustable trigger

One standout is the patented Lightning Bolt Action LBA user-adjustable trigger, allowing pull weights between 2 to 7 pounds. That adjustability lets you tune the trigger to personal preference — lighter for bench zeroing or heavier for rugged field carry — without specialized gunsmithing.

Caliber and ballistics — 22-250

The 22-250 caliber in this platform is a proven high-velocity option favored for medium to long-range game work, delivering flat trajectories and effective terminal performance on predators and certain big-game applications where legal and appropriate. A 1:14 twist supports stabilized bullets at the velocities this cartridge produces, and the 5-round capacity keeps the rifle compact in the field.

Ergonomics, finish, and weight

Available with either a classic walnut or a laminate stock, both patterns include checkering on the grip and forend for a secure hold in wet or cold conditions. Choose a Marinecote or Matte Blue barrel finish depending on corrosion resistance preferences. With a 22″ barrel, overall length of 42.75″, and a weight around 7 lb, the balance favors carryability without sacrificing stability from the bench.
