Mossberg 28245 Patriot Full Size 6.5 PRC 4+1 24" Stainless Cerakote Fluted Threaded Barrel, Drilled & Tapped Stainless Cerakote Receiver, Black Fixed Synthetic Stock

The Mossberg 28245 Patriot in 6.5 PRC is a no-nonsense bolt-action rifle built for hunters and shooters who want modern accuracy without the modern price tag. This is a full-size rifle that pairs traditional handling with field-proven features: a stainless steel Cerakote finish that shrugs off weather, a fluted and threaded 24-inch barrel ready for a suppressor or muzzle brake, and a drilled-and-tapped receiver that accepts Weaver-style scope bases straight out of the box. The 6.5 PRC chambering gives you flat trajectory and energy retention for medium to long-range hunting—a cartridge that's earned serious respect in the field over the last several years.

The action is where the Patriot proves its value. A spiral-fluted bolt cycles smoothly and shaves ounces without sacrificing strength. The LBA user-adjustable trigger lets you dial pull weight from 2 to 7 pounds, so you can tune it to your preference rather than live with whatever the factory set. The drop-box magazine holds four rounds with one in the chamber, feeding reliably through a 1:8 twist barrel that stabilizes modern long-range bullets. It's a setup that respects your skill and rewards practice.

Handling is straightforward: a 13.75-inch length of pull and a black fixed synthetic stock that won't apologize for itself. At 6.5 pounds, it's light enough to carry all day but substantial enough to settle naturally behind a scope. The 44.25-inch overall length keeps it maneuverable in brush and vehicles without feeling like a compact carbine. This is a rifle for hunters who know what they want and aren't interested in paying for features they'll never use.
