Several key characteristics contribute to the overall success of Mossberg’s Patriot LR Tactical: the Patriot action, the MDT stock and the bull-profile barrel. Or as old-timers put it, “lock, stock and barrel.” Let’s take a closer look.

Patriot bolts have a floating, pinned bolt head, so the dual locking lugs find a natural squared-up equilibrium—important for accuracy. It’s a system that provides most of the benefits of hand-lapped locking lugs on a truedup traditional action, without the cost. Further, the action features Mossberg’s LBA trigger, which is crisp and clean and user adjustable.
