Any opinions or experience?

I am thinkin about another bang stick. If for no other reason than I just want to buy a new one
If you have any input, good or bad, talk to me about the Mossberg Patriot. I've always been either a Weatherby or a model 70 guy with an occasional savage thrown in there.
I am thinking about picking up the patriot in .25-06 (in walnut, not synthetic)

No experience with Mossberg rifles, but I am interested to hear what the consensus is. At $450 I would probably just find a nice used 700 or Hawkeye myself though.

I understand what you're sayin but I don't like the Ruger and don't want used. I also know , right or wrong, I've personally always equated Mossberg with "cheap firearms" but some of the online reviews that I've read on the Patriot are starting to change my mind

Mossberg makes the absolute worst rifle out there. And it isn't even close

Like I said before, in the post before this one..... I've always thought the same thing but then there are numerous online reviews like this one and they are all saying pretty much the same thing

Yea and what does mossberg pay to get that article written? I go more by personal experience and the experience of people I know and trust. I can pay American hunter or any of those guys 10k and they will write a nice article about my product too

Mossberg is actually an old Aztec word.
It means "Terrible Firearm"

Like Vegetarian is an old Indian word for Bad Hunter

I own a Mossberg bantam that I got for the kids. I won't say it is terrible, but I will recommend a Remington 700 to someone wanting to buy a new rifle. And as far used, as soon as you take one shot with the gun, it is used. You can find very good used guns for sale. Especially if you would consider a Mossberg.

Know nothing about the Mossberg bolt guns, but both my Mossberg ARs are more accurate than the others I have. Your mileage may vary, I'm a hunter, not a shooter, so I don't spend hours at a bench, but when I want to coyote hunt, I grab a Mossberg.

I have a couple of Mossberg rifles. One is a tackdriver and I haven't shot the other one yet. They aren't in the same league as my Sake L691 but for the money i like them.

I was just a Academy and they are running Rem 700s in the low $300s. It may be a rebate deal to get it that low.
