Mossberg Adds The Patriot LR to the Line
News Briefs - Mar/Apr 2023
The new Patriot LR (Long Range) Tactical bolt-action rifle is housed in an adjustable, customizable chassis system and fed from an AICS-style magazine. And it’s now available 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 a 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 a 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 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 2- to 7-pound range of adjustment. Rounding out the standard features are an oversized, easy-grip bolt handle and a smooth-cycling fluted bolt.
The MDT Field Stock chassis system features V-Block aluminum bedding for stability on long-range shots, a Magpul M-LOK-compatible forend with slots at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions for accessory customization, and abuttstock that is adjustable for length of pull (LOP) from 13.5 to 14.25 inches with the use of spacers (three .75-inch spacers are included). The comb height is also adjustable, up to 2 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. SRP: $1,085. (mossberg.com)
