The Mossberg Patriot Predator in 6.5 PRC is engineered for the discerning marksman requiring a high-performance bolt-action platform for extended-range engagements and predator control. This rifle integrates robust construction with precision-focused features, delivering consistent ballistic performance.
Key Features
Precision Barrel
Equipped with a 24-inch fluted stainless steel barrel, the Patriot Predator is configured for optimal thermal management and rigidity. The fluting reduces weight while increasing surface area for efficient heat dissipation during sustained firing sequences. The barrel is threaded at 5/8″-24 with an 1:8 twist rate, facilitating the integration of muzzle devices or suppressors while stabilizing a broad range of 6.5 PRC projectile weights for enhanced accuracy.
Bolt Action System
The core of this rifle is its twin-lug, push-feed bolt action, known for its smooth operation and positive cartridge feeding. The oversized bolt handle enhances manipulation, particularly in adverse conditions or when wearing gloves. The robust receiver design provides a stable bedding surface for the barrel, contributing to the rifle’s inherent accuracy potential.
Trigger Mechanism
The Mossberg Lightning Bolt Action (LBA) adjustable trigger is a critical component for precision shot placement. User-adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds, it allows the operator to fine-tune the pull to their preference, minimizing input error and promoting consistent trigger breaks.
Stock Design
This model features a durable laminate stock, providing superior rigidity and weather resistance compared to traditional wood stocks. The ergonomic design promotes consistent shooter interface, which is vital for repeatable accuracy. The stock also incorporates a recoil pad to mitigate felt recoil, allowing for quicker follow-up shots and extended range sessions.
Integrated Features
A factory-installed Picatinny rail section is affixed to the receiver, offering a secure and standardized mounting solution for a variety of optic systems without requiring additional modifications. The detachable box magazine facilitates rapid reloads and safe offloading.
