The Mossberg 28249 Patriot with Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope is a modern bolt-action hunting rifle built for shooters who want proven accuracy and field-ready features without compromise. Chambered in 7mm PRC—a flat-shooting magnum that punches above its weight class—this rifle comes straight from the box with glass mounted and ready to hunt. The 24-inch fluted and threaded barrel keeps the gun nimble in thick cover while opening the door to muzzle device customization, and the recessed match crown ensures precision that'll matter at distance.

This rifle earns its place in a working hunter's truck through attention to real details. The drop-box magazine feeds reliably, the spiral-fluted bolt cycles smooth and fast, and the user-adjustable LBA trigger lets you dial in pull weight between 2 and 7 pounds—tune it light for precision at the bench or crisp for field hunting. The synthetic stock is rock-solid black, no fuss, built to handle weather and rough country. Weaver-style bases come drilled and tapped, so your Vortex scope sits right and stays put.

The included Vortex Crossfire II is a workhorse optic: 3-9x magnification and a 40mm objective strike the balance most hunting situations demand, from close-range brushy shots to mid-range open country. The pair—rifle and scope—arrives as a complete system, which means you're aiming and hunting sooner. At 7.5 pounds, it's honest weight without excess. With a 44.75-inch overall length and a 13.75-inch length of pull, this Patriot handles naturally for most shooters and settles well into a rest or shooting bag at the range.
