The Mossberg Patriot Super Bantam is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .243 Winchester with a Muddy Girl Wild Camo finish. The Super Bantam designation means the stock has an adjustable length of pull from 12 to 13 inches, which is specifically designed for smaller-framed or younger shooters who need a shorter reach to the trigger. The 20-inch fluted barrel keeps overall weight at 7.5 lbs.

Detailed Features 

 
The adjustable 12-to-13-inch length of pull is the central feature. It lets the rifle fit a shooter properly now and still fit them as they grow or as their gear changes. The LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger is user-adjustable from 2 to 7 lbs., so you can dial in a pull weight that matches your skill level and intended use. The fluted barrel reduces weight slightly and helps with heat management during extended range sessions. The drop box magazine allows quick reloads. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

• Youth / New Shooter Training: The adjustable LOP and .243 WIN's manageable recoil make this a practical first centerfire rifle for younger or smaller-framed shooters. 
• Deer and Medium Game Hunting: .243 WIN is a capable deer cartridge at reasonable distances; the 20-inch barrel is adequate for hunting in the field. 
• Range Work: Adjustable trigger and fluted barrel suit precision target practice.

The Mossberg Patriot Bantam in .243 WIN with camo finish gets positive feedback, especially from families buying it as a first hunting rifle for younger shooters.

The adjustable stock is the most frequently mentioned feature. Parents and coaches appreciate that the 12-to-13-inch length of pull range means the rifle fits a younger shooter now and still fits them after they grow, which extends the useful life of the purchase.

The lightweight design gets consistent praise. Younger or smaller shooters don't have trouble carrying or holding it, which matters during a full day of hunting.

The .243 Winchester caliber is seen as a good fit for this use case. Recoil is mild enough that it doesn't develop bad habits in new shooters, and it has enough energy for deer hunting.

Accuracy and reliability reports from owners are generally positive; most describe satisfactory results at the range and in the field.

Price relative to alternatives comes up occasionally. Most owners consider it fair for the features, though some mention other rifles in the same price range worth considering. Overall, sentiment is solidly positive among the target audience.
