I am looking to buy a new rifle in 7mm-08. While in Academy today I saw the Mossberg Patriot and thought it was an interesting looking rifle, so I did some checking on the web and YouTube. Just wondered if anyone here has any good/bad experiences with them. I have never owned a Mossberg rifle.

Anyone shooting a Mossberg Patriot?

A guy on my deer lease has one in .308. I’ve never held it but he seems to like it.
I’m about to buy a Savage Axis II XP hardwood in 7mm08. Academy has it for $425 with a $75 mail in rebate FYI. My local dealer can get it for a little less than Academy. Might be something you want to look at.

All the reviews and youtube videos i watched on the Patriot show it to be inferior to other “budget” based rifles. I like the idea of the wood stock on it over the plastic stocks of the TC, Ruger, and Savage.
I will say this, of all the reviews i have looked at, the Ruger American and TC Compass show to have the most consistant accuracy. My plan is to buy the cheaper TC compass (has the 5R rifling) and drop it into a boyds or similar stock. Several videos have it shooting .5” to 1” groups at 100 with factory ammo.

I bought one a couple of weeks ago when Kentucky Gun Co had them for 230 or 318 with a vortex scope
I got the 6.5 creed, and it shoots really good!
The actions are very good
They seem to perform flawlessly
They have a fluted barrel
They have a really good trigger, way better then my savage accutrigger
They are a light gun so they very easy to carry hunting
The barrel is fluted which looks really nice
Cons
They have a lever for a safety, like the Winchester’s had, which I like, but it is a little louder then the Tang safety
The stock sucks, just like most cheap synthetic stocks in any cheap gun

For the money I think they are pretty good rifles.
