Patriot LR Tactical joins
Mossberg bolt-action line
Known for its performance on game and down range, Mossberg introduces the newest
member of the family: the Patriot LR (Long Range) Tactical bolt-action rifle.
Housed in an adjustable, customisable
chassis system and fed from AICSstyle
magazine, this Patriot rifle
is designed to enhance your long-range
performance and accuracy. Available now
in three of the most popular, flat-shooting
chamberings: 6.5mm Creedmoor and 308
Win with 22-inch barrel length and 6.5
PRC with 24-inch barrel.
Based on the proven Patriot bolt-action
platform, the Patriot LR Tactical has a
twin-lug push-feed machined-steel action
with medium bull, carbon steel barrel
featuring an 11-degree match crown and
matte blue finish. For ease of adding a
suppressor, the barrel is threaded (5/8”-24
threads per inch) and includes a protective
thread cap. The factory-installed 20 MOA
Picatinny rail provides for added elevation
adjustment with most optics. And like all
Patriot rifles, this tack driver has Mossberg’s
patented LBA (Lightning Bolt Action)
user-adjustable trigger with a two to sevenpound
range of adjustment. Rounding
out the standard features are an oversized,
easy-grip bolt handle and smooth-cycling
fluted bolt.
Setting this Patriot apart is the MDT
Field Stock chassis system that features
V-Block aluminium bedding for stability
on long-range shots; Magpul M-LOKcompatible
forend with slots at the three,
six and nine o’clock positions for accessory
customisation; and buttstock that is
adjustable for length-of-pull (LOP) from
13.5 – 14.25 inches with the use of spacers
(three .75-inch spacers included). The comb
height is also adjustable, up to two inches,
with the tension knob. Simply loosen the
knob, adjust the cheekrest to the desired
height and re-tighten the knob. The trigger
guard is oversized and is equipped with an
integrated magazine release lever located
forward of the trigger guard. Completing
the design of this functional stock is
an ergonomic, straight-wrist grip with
texturing; front and rear sling swivel studs;
and flat dark earth finish. The Patriot LR
Tactical is fed from a metal AICS-style
detachable magazine with seven-round
or 10-round capacity and will accept
aftermarket AICS-style mags (calibrespecific).
When extending your down-range
performance and accuracy is your goal, the
newly-designed Patriot LR Tactical rifle
delivers with functionality, precision, and
consistency – shot-after-shot.
