Getting a young hunter into the deer woods should not require piecing together a rifle, rings, and glass on your own. Mossberg took care of that with the Patriot Super Bantam Scoped Combo. This .308 Win bolt action ships with a 3-9x40mm scope already mounted on Weaver style bases, so all that is left to do is get it zeroed with your hunting load and go find a stand.
The Super Bantam stock is where this rifle earns its keep. The synthetic stock uses a removable 1 inch spacer to adjust length of pull between 12 and 13 inches, which is a big deal for kids and smaller-statured adults who struggle to shoulder a full-size rifle properly. A shorter reach to the trigger means better form, better follow-through, and more confidence behind the gun. As the shooter grows, pop the spacer back in and the rifle keeps up.
Under the hood you get the same core features found on full-size Patriot rifles. The 20 inch fluted barrel is button rifled with a 1:10 twist and finished with a recessed target crown to protect accuracy, and the matte blued metalwork holds up to field use without drawing attention. The spiral fluted bolt cycles smoothly with a streamlined handle that is easy for smaller hands to run, and Mossberg's LBA trigger is user adjustable from roughly 2 to 7 pounds, so you can set a clean, crisp pull that suits the shooter. Rounds feed from a detachable box magazine, which makes loading and unloading at the truck simple and quick.
Chambering a youth rifle in .308 Winchester gives it real staying power. Ammo is everywhere, factory reduced-recoil loads take the sting out for newer shooters, and the cartridge has more than enough for deer, hogs, and black bear at practical hunting distances. At 38.5 inches overall and 7.5 pounds with the scope, it carries well in a blind or on a still hunt. This is the kind of rifle that starts as a first deer gun and ends up staying in the family.
The 3-9x40mm scope comes factory mounted on Weaver style bases, but you will still want to zero it with your chosen ammo before hunting. Plan on a box or two of your hunting load at the range to confirm zero at 100 yards. Once it is dialed in, the 3-9x magnification range covers just about any realistic hunting distance for .308.
The stock includes a removable 1 inch spacer that lets you set the length of pull at either 12 or 13 inches. Take the spacer out for a smaller shooter and reinstall it as they grow. It is a simple system that keeps the rifle fitting right for years instead of being outgrown after a season or two.
Full-power .308 loads do have some push in a 7.5 pound rifle, so many parents start new shooters with reduced-recoil ammo, which several major brands offer in .308. Those loads noticeably soften felt recoil while still being plenty effective on deer. As the shooter builds experience, stepping up to standard loads is an easy transition.
Yes, this rifle uses Mossberg's LBA trigger, which is user adjustable from roughly 2 to 7 pounds. It also has a blade safety in the trigger face that keeps the sear from releasing unless the trigger is fully depressed. Setting a lighter, crisp pull is a real advantage for teaching good trigger control.
