There's a reason walnut and blued steel never go out of style. The Mossberg Patriot Walnut in .243 Winchester gives you that classic hunting rifle look with features that make sense in the field, and it does it without emptying your wallet. The .243 chambering is a favorite for good reason: mild recoil, flat trajectory, and plenty of punch for whitetail, antelope, and coyotes. It's also a popular pick for newer hunters and smaller-framed folks who want a full-size deer rifle that's pleasant to shoot.
The 22 inch fluted barrel wears a matte blued finish and a recessed match crown to protect the rifling. Fluting trims weight and adds surface area for cooling, and it looks sharp doing it. The spiral fluted bolt with its knurled handle cycles smoothly and gives your hand solid purchase for quick follow-up shots, even with cold or gloved fingers. Mossberg's patented LBA Lightning Bolt Action trigger is the standout here, letting you dial the pull weight anywhere from 2 to 7 pounds to match your preference. A crisp, adjustable trigger at this price point is something plenty of pricier rifles still don't offer.
Feeding comes from a flush-fitting 5-round drop box magazine, so loading and unloading at the truck is quick and simple. Weaver-style scope bases are already installed on the receiver, and sling swivel studs are in place for your favorite carry strap. The walnut stock features a stippled grip and forend that stays put in wet weather, with a 13.75 inch length of pull that fits a wide range of builds. The 1:10 twist rate stabilizes the common 80 to 100 grain hunting bullets that make the .243 shine.
At 7 pounds bare and 42.75 inches overall, this Patriot balances nicely offhand and won't wear you out on a long hike to the stand. Top it with a solid 3-9x scope and you've got a genuinely handsome, capable deer rifle that's ready for opening day.
No iron sights or scope are included with this model. The receiver comes with Weaver-style scope bases already installed from the factory, so all you need are rings and your optic of choice. A 3-9×40 scope is a popular and practical pairing for a .243 hunting setup.
Yes, this rifle uses Mossberg's patented LBA Lightning Bolt Action trigger, which is user-adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds. You can set it light and crisp for precision work or heavier for cold weather hunting with gloves. It's one of the best features on the Patriot line.
The .243 Win is a versatile do-it-all cartridge for medium game. It handles whitetail deer, antelope, and hogs well with 90 to 100 grain bullets, and lighter loads make it a solid coyote and varmint round. Its mild recoil also makes it a great choice for younger or recoil-sensitive hunters, and the 1:10 twist in this barrel stabilizes common hunting weights nicely.
It feeds from a detachable flush-fitting drop box magazine with a 5-round capacity, and one magazine ships with the rifle. The detachable design makes loading and unloading fast and simple at the truck or the range. Spare magazines are available if you want a backup in your pack.
