Mossberg took the proven Patriot action and built it into something meant to stretch a .308 past where most hunting rifles feel comfortable. The heart of the LR Hunter is a 22-inch fluted barrel with a matte blue finish and a threaded muzzle, so you can spin on a brake or suppressor without a trip to the gunsmith. The 1:10 twist stabilizes the heavier match and hunting bullets that .308 does its best work with, and at roughly 6.5 pounds bare, this is a long-range rifle you can carry up a ridge without regretting it by lunch.
The spider gray Monte Carlo stock is where this rifle separates itself from the standard Patriot line. The elevated comb lines your eye up naturally behind a scope mounted on the included Picatinny rail, so you get a repeatable cheek weld shot after shot. Mossberg also gave the whole stock a micro-textured polymer coating that stays grippy when your hands are cold, wet, or gloved, and the wider benchrest-style forend rides bags and bipods better than a typical slim hunting stock. Length of pull is a comfortable 13.75 inches, and the crossbolt safety sits right where your trigger finger expects it.
You still get the details that made the Patriot popular in the first place. The spiral fluted bolt runs smooth with an oversized handle that is easy to work fast from the shoulder, the detachable box magazine gives you 5+1 of .308 with quick reloads, and the LBA trigger adjusts from 2 to 7 pounds so you can dial in a crisp, light break for precision work or keep it heavier for cold-weather hunts. Overall length comes in at 42.25 inches, compact enough for a truck rack or a shooting house.
For a whitetail hunter wanting to reach across a bean field, or someone who splits time between the deer stand and the steel range, the Patriot LR Hunter covers both jobs with one rifle. Add glass and ammo and it is ready to go to work.
Yes, the 22-inch fluted barrel comes threaded from the factory, so you can mount a muzzle brake or suppressor right out of the box. It ships with a thread protector installed to keep the threads clean when you are running it bare.
It is. The rifle uses Mossberg's LBA trigger, which is user-adjustable from roughly 2 to 7 pounds. That range lets you set a light, crisp break for bench and precision work or a heavier pull for gloved hands in cold weather, and no gunsmith is needed to adjust it.
There are no iron sights on the LR Hunter. It comes with a Picatinny rail already installed on the receiver, so it will accept just about any scope rings or one-piece mount built for a Pic rail. The raised Monte Carlo comb on the stock is shaped specifically to line your eye up with a mounted scope.
The barrel has a 1:10 twist, which is the standard for .308 Win and handles the full range of common bullet weights well. It will stabilize everything from 150 grain hunting loads up through 168 and 175 grain match bullets, which is exactly what you want in a rifle built for longer shots.
