Description
There's something about a walnut stock and blued steel that just feels right in the deer woods, and the Mossberg Patriot delivers that look without the custom shop price tag. This one is chambered in .270 Winchester, a cartridge that's been dropping whitetails, mule deer, and pronghorn for the better part of a century thanks to its flat trajectory and manageable recoil. The 22-inch button-rifled barrel gives the .270 enough room to reach full velocity, while the fluting trims weight and the free-floated design with a recessed match crown keeps things consistent shot to shot.
What Sets the Patriot .270 Apart
The LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger is the standout here. It's user adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds, so you can dial it to a crisp, light break for careful shots off the bench or keep it heavier for cold-weather hunting with gloves. The spiral-fluted bolt with its knurled handle looks sharp and cycles smoothly, which matters when you need a quick follow-up. Feeding comes from a 5+1 capacity drop box magazine that loads easily and drops free for quick unloading at the truck or the treestand.
Set Up Your Mossberg Patriot for the Field
There are no iron sights on this model, but Weaver-style scope bases come installed from the factory, so all you need are rings and your favorite optic. A 3-9×40 is a natural pairing for a rifle like this. At 7 pounds bare and 42.75 inches overall with a 13.75-inch length of pull, it carries well on long walks and shoulders naturally, whether you hunt open country or thick timber.
A Walnut Bolt Gun That Earns Its Keep
Plenty of rifles in this class get the job done, but few of them look this good doing it. The Patriot has built a solid reputation for out-of-the-box accuracy with quality hunting ammo, and the two-position safety and 1:10 twist barrel round out a package that works with the full range of .270 bullet weights. It's a working rifle with heirloom looks, and that's a tough combination to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Mossberg Patriot .270 come with sights or a scope?
No, this model ships without iron sights or a scope. It does come with Weaver-style scope bases already installed on the receiver, so you just need to add rings and an optic. A 3-9×40 scope is a popular and practical match for a .270 hunting rifle like this.
Is the trigger on the Patriot adjustable?
Yes, the Patriot uses Mossberg's LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger, which is user adjustable from roughly 2 to 7 pounds. It breaks clean and crisp, and you can tune it at home without a trip to a gunsmith. Many owners consider it one of the best triggers in this price class.
How accurate is the Mossberg Patriot Walnut in .270 Win?
The Patriot has a strong track record for accuracy, with the free-floated, button-rifled barrel and recessed match crown doing a lot of the work. With quality hunting ammunition, these rifles are commonly capable of groups around an inch at 100 yards. That is plenty for deer-sized game well beyond typical hunting distances.
What kind of magazine does this rifle use?
It feeds from a detachable drop box magazine with a 5-round capacity, giving you 5+1 total with one in the chamber. The magazine is easy to load, drops free cleanly, and makes unloading at the end of a hunt quick and simple. One magazine is included with the rifle.
