The Mossberg Patriot Predator is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .22-250 Remington, with a TrueTimber Strata camo stock and Patriot Brown Cerakote metalwork. The .22-250 is a well-established varmint and predator cartridge — flat-shooting, fast, and relatively light on recoil.

Features 

 
The 22-inch fluted barrel reduces weight slightly while helping shed heat during extended shooting sessions. The 1:8" twist rate handles a range of bullet weights well, which matters when you're trying different loads for different game. Mossberg's LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) trigger is user-adjustable, so you can tune pull weight without a trip to a gunsmith. 
 
The stock's TrueTimber Strata pattern is a practical choice for hunting in brush or timber. A Picatinny rail comes standard for mounting optics. Two-position safety is simple and unambiguous. 
 

Usage 

 
At 6.50 lbs, the Patriot Predator is a manageable carry weight for all-day varmint hunts or coyote work. The .22-250's flat trajectory makes longer shots straightforward, and the bolt action is appropriate for the deliberate pacing that varmint shooting usually involves.

The Mossberg Patriot Predator in .22-250 Rem draws mostly positive feedback with some nuance around specific areas.

Accuracy is the most praised attribute. The .22-250 cartridge is a favorite for its flat trajectory and minimal recoil, and owners report the Patriot Predator delivers on that caliber's potential. Value for money comes up consistently — shooters note the rifle competes well against more expensive options, especially given features like the adjustable LBA trigger and Cerakote finish.

The trigger gets mixed reactions. Some owners find it crisp and appreciate the adjustability; others feel it needs refinement out of the box and requires tuning to meet expectations.

Aftermarket support is a common request — buyers interested in stock upgrades or accessories note the options specifically tailored to this model are limited compared to more popular platforms. Ergonomics and balance get positive marks overall, with most owners finding it comfortable for extended sessions.

Mossberg's customer service comes up occasionally, mostly positive but with some reports of warranty interactions that required follow-up. Recoil in .22-250 is light enough that new shooters adapt quickly.
