The Mossberg Patriot Youth Bantam in .308 Winchester delivers a robust, reliable bolt-action platform optimized for shooters requiring a reduced length of pull. Engineered for consistent field performance, this rifle integrates practical utility with durable construction, making it suitable for a range of hunting and general-purpose applications.
Key Features
Ergonomics and Stock Design
The rifle features a synthetic stock with a reduced length of pull, precisely set at 12.5 inches, to accommodate smaller-framed shooters or those preferring a more compact firearm interface. The stock’s durable polymer construction provides resilience against environmental exposure and minimizes overall weight. An integrated recoil pad mitigates felt recoil, enhancing shooter comfort and facilitating faster follow-up shot acquisition.
Precision Barrel and Action
The system incorporates a 20-inch button-rifled barrel, commonly fluted for weight reduction and heat dissipation, finished with a protective matte blue. The action utilizes a push-feed bolt system with a fluted bolt body for smooth, reliable cycling. Chambered in .308 Winchester, it offers a proven caliber for effective performance on medium to large game.
LBA™ Adjustable Trigger
Equipped with Mossberg’s proprietary Lightning Bolt Action™ (LBA™) adjustable trigger, allowing users to customize pull weight from 2 to 7 pounds. This precise adjustment facilitates improved trigger control, directly contributing to enhanced accuracy potential.
Detachable Box Magazine
The system includes a detachable box magazine, offering a 4-round capacity for the .308 Winchester, facilitating quick and secure reloading operations.
Optics Integration
As a factory “package” offering, this rifle typically includes a pre-mounted riflescope, commonly a 3-9×40, configured for immediate field deployment. Weaver-style bases are standard, providing a robust and stable foundation for optic attachment.
