Hunting With The Mossberg Patriot
I took the Patriot out deer hunting in the 2017 season and got a decent whitetail buck. At a massive distance of 25 yards, it wasnt like I really needed the long range 140 grain 6.5 Creedmoor bullets, but its nice to have the option to make a long shot if one presents itself. In use, the magazine kinda needs to be mashed into the well. It doesnt clip in super nicely, but it does clip in. Single feed rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor on top of the magazine didnt feed in super well maybe because of the sharp angles on 6.5 Creedmoor, or maybe because of the feedpath. Rounds fed from the magazine worked great.

Mossberg Magazines: A Family Tradition Of Excellence
Mossberg is the oldest continuously family-owned and operated manufacturer of firearms in America, in business for over 100 years and theyve never stopped raising the bar
Mossberg is the worlds leading manufacturer of pump-action shotgunswith over 10 million Mossberg shotguns sold.
Theyre best known for their 12 gauge 500- and 590-series of pump-action shotguns, a popular staple among law enforcement and military thanks to their rugged design and unflinching reliability. Mossberg firearms are even favored by top shooting competitors like Jerry Miculek.
But despite their success with shotguns, Mossbergs first successful production firearm was actually the Brownie .22 LR pistol. Since then, O.F. Mossberg and Sons have continued to innovate and develop new magazine-fed pistols and rifles in a variety of calibers.
Todays most popular Mossberg firearms include the 702 and 802 Plinkster, the .22 LR 715 Series, the AR-15 pattern Blaze and the Mossberg centerfire 4×4 bolt-action rifle.
From those early rimfires to the new 590M magazine-fed, pump-action shotgun, and even the new 9mm MC1SC subcompact pistol, Mossberg has earned a reputation for developing lightweight, easy-to-use firearms and ultra-reliable factory magazines to go with them.
With each new design, they continue to raise the bar and improve performance without ever breaking the bank. Mossberg firearms come with an impressive 10-year warranty to ensure you get a decade of reliable performance and function.
