Key Features
- Spiral-Fluted Bolt and Barrel – The 22-inch barrel and bolt are both spiral-fluted to reduce weight without sacrificing rigidity. Why it matters: Less heft on the carry means you stay fresh on long hikes to your stand, but the barrel still holds tight groups when you settle in for the shot.
- LBA Adjustable Trigger – Mossberg’s Light Bolt Action (LBA) trigger system lets you dial in pull weight from 2 to 7 pounds. Why it matters: A crisp, user-tuned trigger gives you the control needed for precise shots on game, especially at longer ranges where the .25-06 shines.
- Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm Scope – Included factory-mounted and boresighted, this scope offers a dead-hold BDC reticle and fully multi-coated lenses. Why it matters: You get a clear, bright sight picture from dawn to dusk, and the BDC reticle helps you compensate for bullet drop on mule deer or antelope without dialing.
- Classic-Style Synthetic Stock – The black synthetic stock has a classic hunting profile with a raised cheekpiece and textured grip panels. Why it matters: It sheds rain and snow, won’t warp in wet weather, and the cheek weld lines up naturally with the scope for fast, consistent cheek-to-stock contact.
Who It’s For
This combo is for the practical hunter who wants a rifle that works right out of the box. It’s ideal for someone chasing pronghorn, whitetail, or coyotes across open country where the .25-06’s flat trajectory and mild recoil make it a favorite. If you’re a DIY hunter who doesn’t want to spend hours mounting and lapping rings, this factory combo saves you time and money.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Ready-to-hunt package with a proven Vortex scope; spiral-fluted barrel for reduced weight; LBA trigger is user-adjustable; .25-06 is a superb long-range varmint and medium-game cartridge; price point under $550 is hard to beat for a complete rig.
- Cons: The factory synthetic stock can feel a bit flexible under heavy bipod use, and the included scope’s BDC reticle is calibrated for specific loads—you’ll want to confirm your zero with your preferred ammunition.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Mossberg Patriot .25-06?
Per Mossberg specs, the 22-inch barrel has a 1:10″ twist rate, which stabilizes most factory .25-06 loads from 100 to 120 grains well. Heavier bullets like 117-grain round-nose may still group fine, but verify with your specific ammo.
Is the Vortex scope included already zeroed?
The scope is factory-mounted and boresighted, but it is not fully zeroed. You’ll need to shoot at a range to confirm your point of impact at 100 yards. The included Vortex Crossfire II has a dead-hold BDC reticle designed for specific loads—check the manual for calibration details.
Can I change the stock on the Mossberg Patriot?
Yes, the Patriot uses a standard two-piece stock system. Several aftermarket options exist from Boyd’s, Hogue, and others. The barrel channel is cut for a sporter-weight barrel, so verify fitment before ordering.
What is the magazine capacity?
The Mossberg Patriot uses a detachable box magazine with a 4-round capacity (5 rounds with one in the chamber). It fits flush with the stock bottom.
