Mossberg Patriot Walnut Vortex Scoped Combo 30-06 5+1 Rifle - Model 27942

The Mossberg Patriot Walnut Vortex Scoped Combo in .30-06 is a turn-key hunting rifle that pairs a proven bolt-action platform with quality glass and walnut furniture—all ready to shoot out of the box. Built for hunters who want a reliable, accurate rifle without the hassle of sourcing and mounting a scope separately, this combo delivers the accuracy and handling you expect from a rifle at this level, whether you're stalking deer in timber or setting up on a ridge for a longer shot.

The Patriot's bolt action features Mossberg's adjustable Lightning Bolt trigger (tunable from 2 to 7 pounds) paired with a spiral-fluted bolt that cycles smoothly and confidently. The 22-inch fluted barrel sports a recessed crown for consistency, and the detachable box magazine lets you top off or swap loads quickly in the field. At 8 pounds with optic, it balances weight and control—light enough to carry all day, solid enough to settle into a rest.

The included Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 scope is a proven workhorse. It's bright, clear, and tough, with fully multi-coated optics, a fast-focus eyepiece, and resettable MOA turrets. The Dead-Hold BDC reticle features customized hashmarks that help you estimate holdover and windage without guesswork—a practical asset when ranges vary or time in the field is limited. The single-piece aluminum tube is nitrogen purged and o-ring sealed for waterproof, fogproof reliability in actual hunting conditions.

Walnut furniture gives the rifle a classic, purposeful look that appeals to hunters who value tradition alongside function. With a 13.75-inch length of pull and 42.75-inch overall length, it's proportioned for most adult shooters and fits well in a truck or gun case.
