Mossberg Patriot Synthetic Bolt-Action Rifle - .22-250 Rem, 5+1 Capacity (Model 27843)

The Mossberg Patriot Synthetic Bolt-Action Rifle in .22-250 Rem (Model 27843) is a straight-shooting option for varmint hunters and long-range rimfire competitors who want reliable accuracy without breaking the bank. Built on Mossberg's time-tested Patriot platform, this rifle pairs a dependable bolt action with a lightweight synthetic stock and a 22-inch barrel tuned for the fast, flat-shooting .22-250 cartridge. Whether you're thinning coyote populations, zeroing in on prairie dogs, or running precision drills at the range, the Patriot delivers the accuracy and handling you need in a rifle that won't slow you down in the field.

The synthetic stock keeps weight down to 6.5 pounds—manageable for a day hike or a long stalk—while resisting weather and rough handling. The matte blue finish is subdued and proven; it sheds glare and shows less wear than shinier alternatives. A five-round magazine gives you practical capacity for follow-up shots without excessive bulk, and the 1:14 barrel twist is optimized for standard .22-250 loads. At 42.75 inches overall, the rifle balances maneuverability in tight country with the sight radius and ergonomics serious shooters expect.

The Patriot name carries real history in the hunting and competition community—this isn't a budget rifle with budget performance. Mossberg built the action to tolerate hard use and still hold zero, and the trigger breaks clean enough for precision work. If you're looking for a no-nonsense varmint rifle that'll still function like new after years of abuse, the Patriot Synthetic deserves a hard look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Mossberg Patriot Synthetic bolt-action rifle best used for?

The .22-250 Rem makes this rifle particularly well-suited for varmint hunting—coyotes, prairie dogs, and other predators—and for long-range rimfire target competition. The fast, flat-shooting cartridge and lightweight build also work for general hunting where reach and flat trajectory matter.

Is the synthetic stock durable in the field?

Yes. Synthetic stocks are designed to resist moisture, temperature swings, and rough handling far better than wood. They don't warp, crack, or absorb water, making them ideal for hunters who spend time in wet or harsh conditions.

What does the 1:14 barrel twist mean for the .22-250?

The 1:14 twist rate (one complete rotation per 14 inches of barrel) is optimized for standard .22-250 ammunition. It provides the stability needed for reliable accuracy across typical bullet weights and loads used in this cartridge.

How many rounds does it hold?

The rifle comes with a five-round detachable magazine. With one round chambered, total capacity is six rounds (5+1). This provides practical firepower for hunting and range work without excessive bulk.
