Key Features
Construction and Durability
The Patriot 7mm-08 features a robust stainless steel barrel and receiver, offering enhanced corrosion resistance critical for prolonged exposure to the elements. A durable Cerakote finish is applied to these metallic components, providing an additional layer of protection against abrasion, moisture, and chemical exposure, thereby extending the firearm’s operational lifespan. The rifle is fitted with a lightweight, high-strength synthetic stock, designed to withstand impacts and resist warping, ensuring consistent shot placement without the maintenance demands of traditional wood stocks.

This rifle incorporates Mossberg’s user-adjustable LBA™ (Lightning Bolt Action) Trigger, allowing the shooter to customize pull weight from 2 to 7 pounds for a crisp, predictable break. The ergonomic design of the synthetic stock facilitates a secure grip and stable shooting platform, optimizing recoil management and promoting repeatable accuracy. The barrel is precision-machined to exacting tolerances, contributing to the rifle’s inherent accuracy potential.
Feeding and Mounting
The Patriot 7mm-08 utilizes a detachable box magazine system for reliable feeding and convenient unloading. The rifle’s receiver is drilled and tapped, and often includes an integrated Weaver-style base, enabling straightforward mounting of preferred optics to achieve full precision capability.
