Mossberg Adds 7mm PRC to Patriot Predator Bolt-Action Series

Mossberg is now offering the latest Hornady Precision Rifle Cartridge, the 7mm PRC, in its series of Patriot Predator bolt-action rifles. Designed to outperform existing 7mm cartridges in a standard long-action rifle, the 7mm PRC is a match-grade cartridge that delivers consistent velocity and repeatable accuracy. As such, the 7mm PRC is the perfect “match” for Mossberg’s suppressor-ready Patriot Predator platform. Two synthetic-stocked models are available, both of which feature a barrel length of 24 inches and a 1:8 twist rate to maximize the performance of the 7mm PRC cartridge.

The Patriot Predator bolt-action is based on Mossberg’s proven twin-lug push-feed machined-steel action, which is fed from a flush-fit polymer magazine. The free-floating, carbon-steel fluted barrel is threaded for a suppressor or muzzle brake and includes a protective thread cap.

For the addition of optics, the Patriot Predator is equipped with a receiver-mounted Picatinny rail. Patriot rifles feature Mossberg’s patented LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) user-adjustable trigger with a 2- to 7-pound range of adjustment for consistent shot placement. Rounding out this full-featured rifle is an oversized bolt handle, a spiral-fluted bolt, and sling swivel studs.

Stock options include a Flat Dark Earth stock with matte blue metal finish and TrueTimber Strata camouflaged stock with complementing Patriot Brown Cerakote metal finish. SRP: $519-$616. (mossberg.com)
