They don't seen to get much attention but I finally broke down and got a Patriot couple month's ago. Couldn't get one here with a wood stock so I got the plastic stock and ordered a wood one from Mossberg when I got home, I like wood!
Had trouble in the beginning but it was my own fault. To cold and to windy to have been out shooting. But the weather warmed and wind let up a bit and mean to tell you, this rifle really shoot's. Best out of the box accuracy I've ever seen, best out of the box trigger I've ever seen and best out of the box bedding I've ever seen!
I print my own target's on a printer in town and for whatever reason, the grids came out at 3/4" instead of one inch. That is with a 75gr Hornady V-Max. Using 70gr SMK in it now and it does a bit better!
This is the plastic stock I took off. Never saw in-letting like this before and didn't think I'd see the same on the wood stock.
There's a magazine well that is plastic and held in place by the action bolts. Normal front bole but the back one goes in the front of the trigger guard. The magazine is also plastic but it works really well so I won't complain. In the wood stock, the barreled action went right into place. Checked for bind in the action, wasn't any! I have not done one thing for this rifle other than load up some ammo for it! In the wood stock, the barrel channel I've never seen before. Here's the inside of the wood stock. Note the plastic magazine well too.
I'm not sure if they make it or not but thinking I'll look around for one in 260 for my grandson's first rifle. This rifle really caught me off guard. Only Mossberg rifle's I'd ever seen before were the old 800's, they did nothing for me!
