Mossberg Patriot LR Hunter

Building on the success of its classic series of Patriot bolt-action rifles, Mossberg is expanding the line with a hunting-focused, extended-range rifle: the Mossberg Patriot LR (Long Range) Hunter, available in four popular calibers (308 Win, 6.5mm Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC and 300 Win Mag). Designed with precise contours for comfort and accuracy, this tack-driving Patriot LR Hunter delivers downrange performance, whether you are pursuing a trophy mule deer or elk in the vast openness of the west or enjoy precision, long-range shooting.

The Patriot LR Hunter is based on Mossberg’s proven twin-lug, push-feed machined-steel action, fed from a lightweight polymer, flush drop-box magazine. The standard contour, free-floating barrel (22-inch length for 308 Win and 6.5mm Creedmoor and 24-inch length for 6.5 PRC and 300 Win Mag) features an 11-degree match crown; straight-edge fluting; and is threaded (5/8”- 24 threads per inch) for the addition of a suppressor. A protective cap is included.

The button-rifled barrel is constructed of carbon steel and features a matte blue finish. A top-mounted Picatinny rail provides for ease of mounting and repositioning optics. Completing the standard features of this classic bolt-action are an oversized bolt handle and spiral-fluted bolt. And at the heart of the Patriot LR Hunter, and every Patriot rifle, is Mossberg’s patented LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) user-adjustable trigger with a 2 to 7-pound range of adjustment for a consistent, clean trigger break.

The newly-designed Patriot LR Hunter features a stock designed for comfort and stability in the field or at the range for enhanced accuracy. Starting with a benchrest-style forend that is flat for stabilizing surfaces at longer-range distances and then tapers toward the muzzle end of the barrel for easier-handling in the field. The symmetrical profile of the stock with deep contoured grip wells provides for a comfortable hold for right or left-handed shooters.

The Monte Carlo-style comb works in conjunction with the optics rail for proper eye-to-sight alignment. Adding to the comfort of the stock design is a full-rifle, polymer-coating with a microtextured Spider Gray finish for a more confident grip regardless of the conditions. And integral to the Patriot LR Hunter stock is machined aluminum bedding pillars for increased rigidity and precision-like accuracy. Dual sling swivel studs allow for sling and bipod attachment.
