MOSSBERG PATRIOT PREDATOR 22″ – 22-250 BROWN CERAKOTE/STRATA

Description

The Mossberg Patriot Predator is a bolt action rifle in .22-250 Remington with a 22" barrel, a 1:14 twist and 5-round capacity plus one chambered.

This barrel length is the usual compromise: enough to develop most of the cartridge's velocity while still being manageable to carry all day, and short enough that a suppressor on the end does not make it unwieldy. That is slower than the usual twist for this cartridge, so it favors lighter bullets; very heavy projectiles may not stabilize. It ships without iron sights, so plan on an optic and a way to mount it: a red dot or holographic sits on a rail, a scope needs rings and a base, and a rifle with neither needs a mount first.

The .22-250 Remington is commonly chosen for varmints and predators at long range. High velocity and a very flat trajectory for a .22 centerfire.
