Description
There's a reason the Patriot Predator keeps showing up in deer camps and coyote fields across the country. Mossberg took their proven twin-lug, push-feed Patriot action and dressed it for serious field work: a 22-inch fluted barrel wearing Patriot Brown Cerakote, a TrueTimber Strata camo synthetic stock, and a full-length Picatinny rail up top so mounting your scope takes minutes instead of an afternoon. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 1:8 twist, this rifle stabilizes the long, high-BC bullets the cartridge is famous for, which means flat trajectories and soft recoil whether you're stretching out on prairie dogs or anchoring a whitetail at 300 yards.
Why the Patriot Predator Earns Its Keep
The button-rifled barrel is free-floated with a recessed crown, and the muzzle comes threaded 5/8"-24 with a protective cap installed, so adding a suppressor or brake is as simple as spinning one on. The LBA trigger adjusts from roughly 2 to 7 pounds, letting you dial in a pull weight that suits how you shoot rather than living with whatever left the factory. Cycling is quick and positive thanks to the spiral-fluted bolt, and the oversized handle gives you plenty to grab with cold or gloved hands, something you'll appreciate on a November morning. A detachable box magazine feeds the action and drops free for easy loading and unloading at the truck.
Built Light for Long Walks
At 6.5 pounds bare and 42.25 inches overall, this rifle carries well over long days without beating you up at the bench. The synthetic stock shrugs off rain, mud, and rough handling, and the Cerakote metalwork adds real corrosion resistance on top of good looks. The Strata camo pattern blends into broken terrain from early season green to late season gray.
A 6.5 Creedmoor That Works as Hard as You Do
With a two-position safety, 13.75-inch length of pull, and 5+1 capacity, the Patriot Predator covers predator control, deer hunting, and range days without complaint. Pick your glass, tune the trigger, and go hunt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mossberg Patriot Predator suppressor ready?
Yes. The 22-inch fluted barrel comes threaded 5/8"-24 from the factory with a protective cap installed. That's the standard thread pitch for most 6.5mm and .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes, so most common muzzle devices will spin right on.
Does this rifle come with sights or a scope?
It ships without iron sights or an optic, but Mossberg installs a full-length Picatinny rail on the receiver. That means you can mount just about any scope, red dot, or thermal with standard Picatinny rings and no gunsmithing. Plan on adding glass before your first range trip.
Can I adjust the trigger on the Patriot Predator?
Yes, it uses Mossberg's LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger, which is user adjustable from about 2 to 7 pounds. It's a clean, crisp break out of the box, and dialing it lighter for precision work or heavier for gloved hunting takes just a few minutes.
What is the Patriot Predator 6.5 Creedmoor best suited for?
It's a versatile do-it-all hunting rifle. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering with a 1:8 twist handles coyotes and other predators, deer, and antelope with mild recoil and excellent long-range ballistics. At 6.5 pounds it carries easily on spot-and-stalk hunts, and the free-floated barrel makes it a solid performer at the range too.
