Mossberg Patriot?

[CountryGent]

I was looking about GB this evening I noticed a rifle called Mossberg Patriot. As it is in .22-250 Remington, wood stock, steel, and dropbox magazine, seems quite neato. But I know zero about them.



Anyone know the story on these? Thanks.

Meh.

Fine shooters.

But, meh.

Roger-dodger. Still well into brain fart territory. Might be time of the year, but find myself looking at classic hunting rifles and/or varmint guns. I've got a lot of trigger time on Mossberg shotguns but, to the best of my recollection, never shot one of their rifles. Meh, likely keep looking at vintage Remingtons.

Can't find many reviews except professional blogs.

I've seen quite a few articles on the Patriot over the last few years. I've heard nothing bad.

To expand a bit: I haven't shot one, just handled a few when I was looking at .25-06 as well. The stocks were...unintersting. Your typical low-budget pressed checkering, not quite free-floated on some, no character in the grain, inconsistent machining on the floorplate cutout. You get the picture.

A fine field grade gun if that's what you want, but nothing really better than the low-budget offerings from Savage, Ruger, etc.
