Looking for the latest high performance,straight-walled cartridge offering for multi-game, multi-season hunting? Look no further than the newest offerings from Mossberg; the classically-styled Patriot Synthetic bolt-action rifle chambered in 350 Legend.
Built with hunters in mind, the 350 Legend is the fastest straight-walled hunting cartridge available while offering more energy, less recoil and increased penetration over many of its competitors. Combining the 350 Legend on-game performance with the feature-rich Mossberg Patriot bolt-action rifle makes this duo a great choice for deer, feral hogs, black bear and other medium-size game. Deer hunting opportunities are also expanded in areas where straight-walled cartridges are now allowed in previously-restricted (slug-shotgun, handgun and muzzleloader) zones.
Patriot bolt-action rifles feature a well-designed stock with straight comb; rounded edges; raised cheek piece; and black rubber recoil pad. Constructed of durable synthetic, the stock has textured stippling on the grip and the three surface areas of the forend for a solid grip. The standard contour 22-inch carbon steel barrel is free-floating, features a 1:16 twist rate and matte blue finish. Completing these offerings are Mossberg’s LBA user-adjustable trigger (2 to 7-pound range of adjustment); spiral-fluted bolt;streamlined and checkered bolt handle; receiver-mounted, weaver-style scope bases;sling swivel studs; and 4-round box magazine.
With decreased muzzle blast and extremely low recoil, the Mossberg Patriot Synthetic chambered in 350 Legend makes for a more enjoyable experience in the field without sacrificing performance.
This gun felt sort of cheap and I was skeptical, but after bore siting it through my bedroom window with a red dot, it was in the bullseye on the first shot. After some very minor adjustments, I was getting great 1.5” groups at 50 and even 100 yards with Hornady ammo.
After 60 rounds, I’m very pleased with this rifle, especially considering the cost.
