Mossberg 28282 Patriot Compact 6.5 PRC 20" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Mossberg 28282 Patriot Compact 6.5 PRC 20" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle is purpose-built for hunters and tactical shooters who demand long-range precision in a compact, field-ready platform. This rifle delivers the ballistic performance of a full-length cartridge in a shorter, more maneuverable package—ideal for hunters navigating dense terrain, law enforcement precision rifle applications, and shooters transitioning between vehicles or confined spaces. The compact 20-inch barrel maintains effective velocity and trajectory with 6.5 PRC ammunition while reducing overall length and weight compared to standard 24-inch configurations.

Built on Mossberg's proven Patriot action platform, this bolt-action rifle features a smooth, controlled-round-feed mechanism and a 5-round magazine capacity engineered for reliability under field conditions. The 6.5 PRC cartridge delivers superior ballistic coefficients and sustained velocity at distance—critical advantages for precision shooting beyond 800 yards where wind deflection and drop compensation demand consistent performance. The compact barrel profile reduces muzzle velocity loss minimally while improving handling; the rigid, pre-fitted action ensures shot-to-shot consistency essential for ethical hunting and tactical accuracy standards.

This rifle serves hunters pursuing medium to large game, precision rifle competitors, and defensive marksmen who prioritize accuracy over firepower volume. The 5-round magazine is optimized for hunting applications where rapid fire is unnecessary, emphasizing deliberate shot placement and ammunition efficiency. Compatibility with standard Patriot platform aftermarket components—triggers, stocks, and tactical accessories—allows users to customize ergonomics and optics mounting to suit individual mission requirements or hunting setups.
