Description
There's a lot to be said for a rifle that shows up with the scope already mounted. The Mossberg Patriot Vortex Scoped Combo in .308 Winchester pairs a proven bolt-action hunting rifle with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40, so instead of shopping for rings, bases, and glass separately, you can head straight to the bench, confirm zero, and start practicing for opening day. The Crossfire II is a legitimately good scope for this class of rifle, with a Dead-Hold BDC reticle that gives you simple holdover points for those longer pokes across a bean field.
What Makes the Patriot Worth a Look
The rifle itself carries features you usually find on more expensive bolt guns. The 22 inch button-rifled barrel is fluted to shave weight, free-floated for consistency, and finished with a recessed crown to protect the rifling. A 1:10 twist stabilizes the full range of common .308 bullet weights, from light 150 grain deer loads up to heavier 180 grain options. Mossberg's LBA trigger is the real standout though. It adjusts from 2 to 7 pounds, so you can dial in a crisp, light pull without paying a gunsmith. The spiral-fluted bolt with its checkered knob runs smooth, and the detachable box magazine holds five rounds for quick loading and unloading at the truck.
A Patriot .308 Built for Real Hunting Weather
The black synthetic stock shrugs off rain, snow, and banging around in a side-by-side, and the textured grip panels keep things secure when your gloves are wet. A raised comb lines your eye up naturally behind the scope, and the recoil pad takes the edge off .308 at the bench. At 7.5 pounds bare, it carries comfortably on long walks to the stand.
Ready for the Range Out of the Box
Chambered in one of the most versatile and easiest-to-find hunting cartridges around, this combo covers whitetail, hogs, black bear, and general range work without breaking a sweat. Bore sight it, put a box of ammo through it to confirm zero, and it's ready for the season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the scope come mounted on the Mossberg Patriot combo?
Yes, the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 arrives mounted in Vortex rings on the Patriot's Weaver-style bases, with lens caps included. It's smart to confirm the ring screws are torqued and then zero it yourself with the ammo you plan to hunt with, since factory bore sighting only gets you on paper.
Is the trigger on the Patriot adjustable?
It is. Mossberg's Lightning Bolt Action (LBA) trigger adjusts from 2 to 7 pounds using a simple screw adjustment, so you can set a light pull for bench work or a heavier one for cold-weather hunting with gloves. It also breaks clean with minimal creep, which is a big part of why the Patriot punches above its weight for accuracy.
What can I hunt with the Mossberg Patriot in .308?
The .308 Winchester handles just about all North American big game at sensible ranges, including whitetail, mule deer, hogs, black bear, and elk with well-placed heavier bullets. The 1:10 twist in the 22 inch barrel stabilizes everything from 150 to 180 grain loads, and ammo is easy to find nearly anywhere that sells cartridges.
Is the Vortex Crossfire II a decent scope or should I plan to upgrade?
For hunting inside 300 yards, the Crossfire II 3-9×40 does the job well. It has a nitrogen-purged aluminum tube, fully multi-coated lenses, and the Dead-Hold BDC reticle gives you clean holdover references at longer distances. Vortex also backs it with their well-known lifetime warranty, so there's no rush to swap it out.
