Design and Features

The Patriot Super Bantam ships in a matte blue finish on a durable synthetic stock sized for youth shooters. The rifle includes a Weaver scope base and a 3-9×40 variable scope, allowing out-of-the-box zeroing and training. The Mossberg-patented adjustable trigger lets the shooter dial pull weight between 2 and 7 pounds, making it perfect for beginners learning trigger discipline while remaining usable for more experienced hands.

Action and Ergonomics

Bolt-action reliability is enhanced by a spiral-fluted bolt and ergonomic bolt handle for smooth cycling. The two-position safety gives simple, clear operation. The recessed target crown and fluted barrel promote consistent muzzle concentricity and heat dissipation, both contributing to tighter groups.

Caliber and Performance

Chambered in 7mm-08, this rifle offers a balanced performance profile—mild recoil compared to larger magnum rounds, efficient ballistic performance, and versatility for small- to medium-sized game at practical hunting distances. With a 19.5″ twist rate and a 20″ barrel, the platform stabilizes common 7mm bullets and delivers accuracy suitable for youth shooters stepping into precision shooting.

Capacity is 5 rounds via detachable box magazines; overall length is 38.5″ and the rifle weighs about 7.5 lb—manageable for most young shooters while still providing a steady shooting platform. Midway through a training season it’s common to appreciate the adjustable trigger range and included scope for progressive marksmanship development. View product details and pricing
