Mossberg Patriot .270 Win Bolt Action Rifle 22″ Fluted Barrel Synthetic

Description

The .270 Winchester has been filling freezers for nearly a century, and the Mossberg Patriot gives that classic cartridge a workhorse home. Model 27884 wears a 22 inch fluted, button-rifled barrel that's free-floated in the stock and finished off with a recessed crown, the kind of accuracy-minded touches you'd expect on rifles costing quite a bit more. The 1:10 twist stabilizes everything from light 130 grain deer loads up to heavier 150 grain bullets for elk and black bear, and the 22 inch tube gives the .270 room to build its full velocity without turning the rifle into a pole vault.

Why the Patriot Handles So Well in the Field

At 6.5 pounds and 42.75 inches overall, this rifle carries easily whether you're still-hunting timber or hiking to a ridgeline stand. The black synthetic classic-style stock shrugs off rain, snow, and truck-bed abuse, and the matte blued metalwork keeps glare down when the sun hits it wrong. The spiral-fluted bolt isn't just for looks either. The knurled handle and ergonomic bolt angle give you solid purchase for quick, smooth cycling when a follow-up shot matters.

A Trigger You Can Tune Yourself

Mossberg's Lightning Bolt Action trigger is one of the best features in this price class. It adjusts from 2 to 7 pounds, so you can set a crisp, light pull for precise shots from the bench or a heavier pull for cold-weather hunting with gloves. Pair that with the flush-fitting 5 round drop box magazine, which makes loading and unloading a whole lot easier than fighting a blind magazine at last light.

Setting Up Your Patriot .270

There are no iron sights on this model, but Weaver-style bases come installed from the factory, so mounting a scope is as simple as adding rings and glass. Top it with a 3-9×40 and a sling and you've got a do-it-all big game rig that's light enough to carry all day and accurate enough to make the shot count.
