About the Mossberg Patriot Predator
The Mossberg Patriot Predator is a bolt-action centerfire hunting rifle built on the Patriot platform and tailored for predator and varmint hunting. Introduced in 2017, it features a fluted, threaded barrel (5/8x24 TPI), a flat-dark-earth polymer stock with a raised cheekpiece and stippled grip panels, a spiral-fluted bolt, and the user-adjustable Lightning Bolt Action (LBA) trigger. Chambered in flat-shooting cartridges such as 6.5 Creedmoor, it pairs a 1:8 twist 22-inch barrel with a four-round detachable box magazine for affordable long-range hunting accuracy.
The Patriot Predator carved out a niche as a budget-priced bolt rifle delivering sub-MOA-capable accuracy with a factory-threaded barrel, helping popularize affordable suppressor-ready predator rifles.
