Mossberg 28236 Patriot Full 6.5 PRC 24" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Mossberg 28236 Patriot Full 6.5 PRC 24" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle represents a modern platform built for long-range hunting and precision shooting applications. Chambered in 6.5 PRC—a cartridge engineered for extended-range capability and flat trajectory—this rifle delivers the accuracy and velocity needed for hunting medium to large game at distances where conventional rounds begin to drop significantly. The 5-round capacity balances magazine-fed efficiency with practical hunting scenarios, while the 24-inch barrel optimizes velocity development without sacrificing portability in the field.

Built on Mossberg's proven Patriot action, the 28236 employs a controlled-round-feed bolt-action mechanism that ensures reliable feeding and cartridge stability during cycling. The rigid receiver design minimizes deflection under recoil, critical for maintaining zero and shot grouping consistency. At 10 pounds, the rifle strikes a practical balance between stability for prone or bench shooting and weight management during extended field use. The 24-inch barrel length accelerates 6.5 PRC rounds to velocities that maximize the cartridge's ballistic advantages while maintaining ergonomic handling, and the overall 47-inch length fits standard rifle cases and vehicle storage without compromise.

This rifle benefits shooters who demand precision at extended range—hunters pursuing elk or mule deer across open terrain, long-range sport shooters, and those seeking a purpose-built platform in a modern, flat-shooting caliber. Law enforcement and tactical precision teams have adopted 6.5 PRC for similar reasons: consistent performance beyond 1,000 yards and reduced wind drift relative to .308 Winchester. The Patriot platform accepts standard picatinny rails for optic mounting and accessory attachment, allowing customization of glass, suppressors (if threaded), and tactical furniture to meet mission-specific requirements. Ammunition availability for 6.5 PRC has expanded significantly, making this caliber more practical for sustained training and field operations.
