Mossberg Patriot Synthetic Cerakote 30-06 Rifle, 5+1 Capacity - Model 28010 Classic Style

The Mossberg Patriot Synthetic Cerakote in 30-06 Springfield is a no-nonsense hunting rifle built for hunters who want a dependable, affordable workhorse that handles tough conditions without flinching. This bolt-action delivers the stopping power and range the 30-06 is famous for in a straightforward platform that prioritizes reliability over frills. With its classic synthetic stock and durable Cerakote-finished stainless steel barrel, the Patriot is equally at home in wet weather, dusty terrain, or a truck rack after a long day in the field.

At 6.5 pounds and 42.75 inches overall length, the rifle balances pointability with a manageable footprint for hunting in timber or across open country. The fluted, 22-inch barrel shaves weight while the 1:10 twist rate stabilizes factory and handloaded ammunition across the 30-06 spectrum. A fixed 13.75-inch length of pull suits most shooters comfortably and keeps the gun responsive in bulky outerwear. The 5+1 capacity (five rounds in the magazine, one chambered) gives you six shots before a reload—plenty for deliberate, ethical hunting.

This is a rifle for hunters who understand that a solid foundation matters more than gadgets. Whether you're taking deer, elk, or pushing shots to distance on your own terms, the Patriot won't let you down, and the synthetic/Cerakote combo means you can focus on the hunt instead of babysitting a finish. Mossberg's reputation for value and durability backs it up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the effective range and hunting applications for the 30-06?

The 30-06 Springfield is one of the most versatile and proven cartridges in North America. It's equally at home on whitetail, mule deer, elk, and larger game at distances from 100 to 300+ yards depending on shooter skill and load selection. It's a caliber that demands respect and rewards proper shot placement.

Is the synthetic stock and Cerakote finish good for hunting in wet or harsh conditions?

Yes. The synthetic stock won't absorb water or swell like wood, and Cerakote is a ceramic-based finish specifically engineered for corrosion resistance and durability. Together they make the Patriot low-maintenance and ready for rain, dust, or hard use without fear of rust or damage.

What comes with the rifle, and what do I need to add?

We have the rifle itself in the specs above. You'll want to plan for a scope or optic, ammunition, magazines if you'd like spares, and a sling for field carry. Stop by and we can help you set it up right.

Is the Mossberg Patriot a good choice for a first centerfire rifle?

Absolutely. The Patriot combines affordability, proven action design, and a cartridge with decades of real-world hunting data behind it. The 6.5-pound weight and manageable recoil of the 30-06 make it approachable, yet powerful enough to grow into for many seasons of hunting.
