Mossberg 28237 Patriot w/Optic Full Size 6.5 PRC 4+1 24" Matte Blued Fluted Threaded Barrel, Matte Blued Drilled & Tapped Receiver, Walnut Fixed Stock, Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm Scope, Right Hand

The Mossberg Patriot 6.5 PRC with included Vortex optic is a ready-to-hunt bolt-action rifle that ships complete and zeroed. Built on Mossberg's proven Patriot platform, this full-size rifle pairs a modern, field-proven action with a 24-inch fluted and threaded barrel, all finished in matte blue for durability and reduced glare. The walnut fixed stock delivers a traditional feel while the rifle itself handles like a purpose-built hunting tool—no additional scope purchases or ring hunting required.

The 6.5 PRC cartridge has earned genuine respect among long-range and big-game hunters for its velocity, energy retention, and inherent accuracy. Mossberg's 1:8 twist barrel is optimized for the round's heavier bullets. The bolt features spiral fluting and a streamlined handle for smooth cycling in the field, and the recessed match-grade crown protects accuracy from the muzzle forward. A drop-box magazine feeds 4+1 rounds of 6.5 PRC, and the rifle comes drilled and tapped for optics with Weaver-style bases already mounted.

What sets this combo apart: the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope is already mounted, ringed, and included. The Crossfire II is a solid, no-frills hunting scope with proven glass and enough magnification range for hunting applications and moderate-distance shooting. Buyers get a rifle configured and ready to function rather than a bare action awaiting parts and setup.

The adjustable LBA trigger spans 2 to 7 pounds, letting you tailor break weight to your preference and shooting style. The 24-inch threaded barrel (5/8-24 TPI) opens future options for muzzle devices or suppressors if your plans evolve. Total length is 44.25 inches and weight comes in at 8 pounds—manageable for a day afield without feeling like a toy rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this rifle come with a scope and rings?

Yes. The Mossberg Patriot includes a Vortex Crossfire II 3–9x40mm scope, lens caps, and Vortex rings mounted and ready to shoot. You will not need to purchase optics separately.

What is the 6.5 PRC and why should I choose it?

The 6.5 PRC is a modern, high-velocity magnum rifle cartridge designed for long-range hunting and shooting. It delivers excellent energy retention and inherent accuracy, particularly with heavier bullets. Mossberg's 1:8 twist barrel is optimized for the 6.5 PRC's ballistics, making this rifle a purpose-built platform for that round.

Can I thread a suppressor or muzzle brake to the barrel?

Yes. The barrel is threaded with a 5/8–24 TPI pattern, which is standard for rifles in this class and compatible with a wide range of muzzle devices. You can add a suppressor, brake, or flash hider to suit your needs.

Is the trigger adjustable?

The Patriot features Mossberg's adjustable LBA trigger, which you can set anywhere between 2 and 7 pounds. This lets you dial in a break weight that matches your shooting style and preference.

What does the walnut stock feel like compared to synthetic options?

This model uses a walnut fixed stock, which offers traditional aesthetics and natural grip texture. Walnut is durable in the field and delivers classic rifle handling, though it does not have the weather-shedding properties of synthetic stocks. The 13.75-inch length of pull is fixed and not adjustable.
