Product Overview

The Mossberg Patriot .243 Winchester rifle in Muddy Girl Wild camo is a versatile hunting rifle built for shooters who want accuracy, reliability, and a modern aesthetic in the field. Chambered in .243 Winchester—a flat-shooting, low-recoil cartridge that excels on medium-sized game and varmints—this rifle combines proven Mossberg engineering with a practical feature set that works for hunters of all experience levels. The 20-inch fluted barrel keeps the rifle handy in brush and timber while the adjustable length of pull (12–13 inches) accommodates different body types and clothing layers across seasons.

Mossberg paired this rifle with a 3-9x40mm scope mounted on Weaver-style bases, so you're ready to glass and shoot out of the box. The matte blued barrel finish resists glare and corrosion, while the synthetic Muddy Girl Wild stock is both weather-resistant and distinctive—a modern camo pattern that performs in real hunting conditions. At 7.5 pounds and 38.5 inches overall, the Patriot handles quickly from a vehicle, stand, or on foot, making it equally at home on a rifle range or pursuing whitetail in open country.

The 1:10 twist rate is optimized for the .243 Winchester's standard hunting and target loads, ensuring consistent accuracy across typical field scenarios. Whether you're new to centerfire rifles or adding a dedicated .243 to your safe, the Patriot delivers solid performance without unnecessary complexity—honest, working-class hunting rifle that gets the job done.
