The Mossberg Patriot LR Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor (brand part no. 28103) pairs one of the flattest-shooting popular hunting cartridges with a rifle purpose-built for long-range work. Mossberg fits this LR Hunter with a fluted, threaded 22-inch barrel and a top-mounted Picatinny rail for a long-range optic, while the matte blue finish and Spider Gray polymer-coated Monte Carlo stock keep the rifle both durable and comfortable behind the glass. 6.5 Creedmoor delivers flat trajectories and mild recoil, letting hunters place accurate shots at distances that would punish a shooter in a harder-kicking cartridge. The crossbolt safety keeps operation simple in a hunting situation.
