First off, the overall size and weight of the Mossberg Patriot LR Tactical Rifle is great. Weighing in at only 7.5 pounds unloaded, this rifle is easy to carry around in the field or range, even on marathon trips. This makes it an ideal choice for carrying on longer expeditions, or if you just want a lightweight rifle option. The length of pull (LOP) is adjustable to fit shooters of all sizes, allowing easy customization and perfect fit for whatever terrain the shooter may be dealing with. Additionally, the short barrel design reduces the overall length of the rifle, allowing for easier maneuverability in tight spaces or when moving through dense foliage.

The trigger pull on the Mossberg Patriot LR Tactical Rifle is crisp and smooth from start to finish, with minimal to no creep or overtravel. The trigger pull weight can be adjusted from two to four pounds, with a total of 1.5 inches of travel. This smooth and reliable trigger pull allows shooters to make comfy and precise shots no matter the target. Furthermore, the trigger has a “safe guard” mode that is engaged when the gun is not ready to fire. This is an important feature for safety purposes and allows for added confidence that the rifle will not fire when it shouldn’t.

The overall quality and craftsmanship of the Mossberg Patriot LR Tactical Rifle is quite impressive. This rifle utilizes a full stainless steel CNC-machined receiver and stock, providing extremely high strength and precision accuracy for long range shooting. The furniture and style of the stock make the rifle look very elegant and is sure to turn heads on the range or out in the woods. Additionally, the rifle has a recoil pad to help reduce felt recoil and add comfort to shooting sessions.

The accuracy of the Mossberg Patriot LR Tactical Rifle is off the charts. With an eighteen-inch fluted barrel, the rifle is sure to impress even the most demanding of long range precision shooters. The barrel has a 1:9 twist rate and five-groove rifling which allows for optimal accuracy and grouping. Additionally, the rifle comes with a match grade trigger for improved accuracy. Finally, the adjustable M1A-style four-position gas system and adjustable four-way buttstock help shooters to perfectly fit the rifle to their size and preferred MOA of accuracy.

The Mossberg Patriot LR Tactical Rifle is loaded with features that modern shooters crave. An easy-to-use single-stack magazine provides a convenient option when on the move, and the rifle also contains a free floating aluminum hand guard with heat shield, helping reduce barrel heating after extended shooting sessions. The rifle also contains a muzzle break to reduce muzzle climb and optimize accuracy, as well as a grooved top rail for use with any picatinny mounted accessories.

The Mossberg Patriot LR Tactical Rifle is one of the best rifles currently on the market.
