Mossberg's Patriot feature a traditional design, excellent reliability, and an unbeatable price. To ensure maximum accuracy, the Patriot features a recessed match barrel crown as well as Mossberg’s own Lightening Bolt Action (LBA) Trigger. The LBA trigger is user adjustable, and offers a crisp, creep-feel pull. For an extra level of safety, the LBA’s trigger blade that blocks the sear from releasing the striker unless the blade is fully depressed even when the trigger is set to its lightest setting. Additionally, the Patriot features a fluted bolt and fluted barrel, and is available with either a black synthetic stock or laminated walnut stock.
