Mossberg 28104 Patriot Long 6.5 PRC 24" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Mossberg 28104 Patriot Long 6.5 PRC 24" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle represents a purpose-built platform for long-range precision shooting and hunting applications where extended effective range and ballistic performance define success. Chambered in 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge), this rifle delivers the velocity and trajectory needed for shots beyond 500 yards while maintaining energy retention critical for clean, ethical game harvesting. Designed for shooters and hunters who demand a reliable, accurate rifle without unnecessary tactical embellishment, the Patriot Long fills the gap between entry-level and premium precision systems.

Built on Mossberg's proven bolt-action architecture, the 28104 features a 24-inch barrel optimized for 6.5 PRC ballistics, producing velocities in the 2,900–3,000 feet-per-second range depending on ammunition and load specifications. The rifle weighs 10 pounds, placing it within practical hunting-rifle standards while remaining steady enough for bench and field precision work. The five-round magazine capacity suits both hunting scenarios and competitive precision rifle formats, and the bolt-action mechanism delivers the reliability demanded in variable environmental conditions. Cold-hammer-forged barrel construction ensures consistent accuracy and longevity, while the rifle's 46-inch overall length maintains maneuverability in vehicle transit and brushy terrain without sacrificing sight radius or accessory mounting flexibility.

This rifle serves precision hunters, long-range competitors, and serious shooters who prioritize accuracy and terminal performance over intermediate distances. The 6.5 PRC cartridge's superior aerodynamics make it ideal for western hunting, F-Class competition, and precision tactical applications where wind drift and bullet drop demand attention. The rifle's Picatinny rail mounting system accepts modern optics ranging from 3–18x and higher magnifications, enabling shooters to optimize glass for their intended use case. Proper 6.5 PRC ammunition selection—premium match-grade or hunting-specific loads—unlocks the platform's full potential, as does adherence to standard bolt-action handling and maintenance protocols.
