Mossberg 28236 Patriot Full Size 6.5 PRC 4+1 24" Matte Blued Fluted Threaded Barrel, Drilled & Tapped Matte Blued Stainless Steel Receiver, Walnut Fixed Stock

The Mossberg 28236 Patriot in 6.5 PRC is a full-size bolt-action rifle built for hunters who want precision, modern features, and genuine field reliability without unnecessary frills. If you're stepping up to long-range hunting or looking for a versatile cartridge that bridges the gap between established calibers and next-generation ballistics, the 6.5 PRC delivers the velocity and energy needed for elk and extended-range work. This rifle brings Mossberg's reputation for value-driven engineering to the table—familiar handling, proven materials, and a trigger system that lets you dial it to your preference.

The 24-inch fluted and threaded barrel reduces weight while maintaining stiffness, and that spiral-fluted bolt cycles smoothly and speeds up follow-up shots. Threading in 5/8-24 TPI gives you options for a suppressor or muzzle device without aftermarket gunsmithing. The recessed match-grade barrel crown protects accuracy shot after shot. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Weaver-style scope mounts, so you're ready to glass when you're ready to hunt. The adjustable LBA trigger (2 to 7 lbs) means you can tune recoil feel and reset speed to your shooting style—a feature that usually costs extra on rifles at this level.

The walnut fixed stock gives the Patriot a classic look that doesn't apologize for being a hunting rifle. At 44.25 inches overall with a 13.75-inch length of pull, it fits most adult frames without awkward reach. The 4+1 magazine capacity (drop-box design) keeps reloads quick when hunting. Matte blue finish on both barrel and receiver resists glare and shows honest wear—this is a tool meant to be used. The rifle weighs 7 pounds, light enough to pack all day but substantial enough for stable shooting from field positions.

Choose the Mossberg Patriot 6.5 PRC if you want a straightforward, accurate hunting rifle with enough adjustability and modern features to grow into longer-range shooting, without the premium price tag of brands that charge for marketing more than engineering.
