First Look: Mossberg Patriot Predator In 7mm PRC

Mossberg has just added two new Patriot Predator models to its bolt-action rifle lineup, both chambered for Hornady’s new 7mm PRC.

Answering the call for rifles ready to shoot Hornady’s newest cartridge, Mossberg has just announced two Patriot Predator models chambered for 7mm PRC. The rifles differ only in their stocks, finishes and prices.

The 7mm PRC Patriot Predator features a free-floated and fluted carbon steel barrel that’s 24-inches long, has a 1:8 twist and an 11-degree match crown. The barrels are also suppressor-ready, sporting 5/8×24 threaded muzzles and included protective caps. Other features include the standard receiver-mounted Picatinny rail for optics, the oversized bolt handle/spiral-fluted bolt and Mossberg’s adjustable Lightning Bolt Action trigger.

Like previous Patriot Predator models, the new 7mm PRC variants use Mossberg’s reliable twin-lug push-feed action and are fed from flush-fitting polymer magazines. The 7mm PRC models have a 3-round capacity. Including their 6.5-pound weights, the two new models are identical except for their stock patterns and the finish on the metal. The standard 7mm PRC Patriot Predator has an FDE synthetic stock and a matte blue metal finish, whereas the fancier model has a TrueTimber Strata camouflage synthetic stock and a Patriot Brown Cerakote job.

MSRP for the standard model is $519, and MSRP for the camo model is $616. Both 7mm PRC Patriot Predator rifles are available now.
