Mossberg 28050 Patriot Super Bantam 6.5 Creedmoor Caliber with 5+1 Capacity, 20" Fluted Barrel, Blued Metal Finish & TrueTimber Strata Synthetic Stock Stock Right Hand (Youth) Includes 3-9x40mm Scope

The Mossberg 28050 Patriot Super Bantam in 6.5 Creedmoor is purpose-built for youth hunters and shooters with smaller frames who demand modern rifle capability without compromise. This bolt-action platform combines Mossberg's proven reliability with a compact 20-inch fluted barrel and right-hand ergonomics, making it ideal for younger and lighter-framed marksmen transitioning to centerfire hunting or those seeking a highly maneuverable rifle for dense terrain. The inclusion of a factory-mounted 3-9x40mm scope eliminates setup delays and delivers an out-of-the-box hunting solution.

Built on a true bolt-action platform with a 5+1 round capacity, the Patriot Super Bantam delivers inherent accuracy and reliability essential for ethical hunting shots. The 1-in-8 twist rate optimally stabilizes modern 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition, a cartridge prized for extended effective range, low recoil impulse, and superior ballistic coefficient—critical advantages for youth shooters developing proper technique and confidence. The fluted 20-inch barrel reduces overall weight to 10.2 pounds while maintaining structural rigidity, and the matte blued metal finish resists corrosion in field conditions. The TrueTimber Strata synthetic stock provides weather resistance, dimensional stability, and a scaled-down length of pull suited to smaller shooters, while the scope mount is pre-drilled and tapped for hassle-free optic installation.

Youth hunters, smaller-framed adults, and recoil-sensitive shooters benefit most from this configuration. The 6.5 Creedmoor's moderate recoil signature makes follow-up shots faster and more accurate while building shooting discipline without flinch development. Law enforcement and civilian precision rifle users also appreciate the 6.5 Creedmoor platform for its inherent accuracy and extended effective range. The compact dimensions (46.5 inches overall length) excel in brush, timber, and backcountry applications where a shorter, lighter rifle reduces fatigue on long stalks. The included 3-9x40mm optic is compatible with the pre-mounted Picatinny rail, and standard Mossberg Patriot magazines and ammunition support ensure logistical simplicity in the field.
