The Mossberg 28243 Patriot in 6.5 PRC is a full-size bolt-action rifle built for hunters and long-range shooters who want accuracy and reliability without the premium price tag. This rifle combines modern features—fluted barrel, adjustable trigger, threaded muzzle—with the straightforward handling of a traditional hunting rifle. The 6.5 PRC chambering has earned serious respect in the field for its flat trajectory and wind-bucking performance, making it a natural choice for hunters working open country or anyone pushing shots past 300 yards.

The 24-inch fluted barrel not only sheds weight but also runs cooler, and the 5/8-24 threading accepts common muzzle devices and suppressors without special adapters. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Weaver-style bases, so mounting glass is straightforward. That spiral-fluted bolt cycles smooth and strong, and the recessed match-grade barrel crown protects accuracy shot after shot. The LBA trigger is user-adjustable between 2 and 7 pounds, letting you dial in pull weight to suit your grip and shooting style.

The synthetic stock is durable, weather-resistant, and finished in black. At 6.5 pounds and 44.25 inches overall with a 13.75-inch length of pull, the Patriot handles like a rifle should—balanced enough for a day in the field, substantial enough to settle into a solid shooting position. The 4+1 capacity covers most hunting scenarios without bulk. Whether you're taking your first long-range hunt or adding a reliable 6.5 PRC to your safe, the Mossberg Patriot delivers honest performance.
